70 characters makes it easier to go in and add a missing word, missing
tag, or correct a misspelling without causing the corrected text to
wrap around the screen.  Moving to 78 will make it more necessary to
re-wrap a paragraph every time a minor change is made.

I don't mean to say we can't move it to 78 if most of doc@ feels it is
more appropriate, I'm just stating my own preference for the existing
limit of 70.
