I saw that as well. Haven't tried it but the question will be whether Org
exports the *actual contents* of the file or what it appears to be on the
screen. Longlines mode seems to do something similar in that it is "wrapped"
but the file actually contains no line breaks... however when exporting to
html, Org seems to use what the buffer *looks* like, not what the actual
file contains.
