It seems to me that if we didn't obey line breaks, then we should also
make the contents of @verb wrappable, but this isn't immediately possible
as seen in my previous message.

Since the contents of @verb would usually be short, it may not matter
if it is not wrappable.

@verb is a rarely used command AFAIK.  I don't believe that using line
breaks inside its argument is part of the envisioned usage.  Hence, if
ignoring line breaks brings compatibility with HTML, this would be a
clear win.

I am going to try to make a couple of changes to texinfo.tex and will
post back.
