That's more of an attribute of the text reader than any thing

It requires a format that does allow reflowing and
repagination. HTML does, PDF/A does, text/plain does not
(maybe RFC 2646 would help, maybe not). text/plain is what we
use, and that's a problem that'll need to be solved.

Julian, PDF/A is a page-image format, just like base PDF.  I
think there is enough information present to permit reflowing
lines and repaginating, but that certainly is not the intent.

I think it's the intent with the reflowable feature. (It may not be used a lot, but it's there; it requires consideration on generation time, though).
