I asked a professional Web developer. Here's the chat log, including sneer from me. :)

Nobody has complained about the new style yet (though I have to say that nobody has complained about the old style either).

Michael was nice enough to fix this, even though he prefers wrapping. Let's see what other people think.

The text in code boxes on the wiki currently gets wrapped. It's better to have an "overflow: scroll" style there.

Motivation: line endings in code matter. Wrapped text can be confusing and lead to errors when people copy it by typing (regular copy-paste works OK).
