[Skip Montanaro]

Why not just skip the specifics except to say < 80 characters for all
lines?  Don't mention 72, 79 or any other number than 80:

      Maximum Line Length

	There are still many devices around that are limited to 80 character
	lines; plus, limiting windows to 80 characters makes it possible to have
	several windows side-by-side.  The default wrapping on such devices
	disrupts the visual structure of the code, making it more difficult to
	understand.  Therefore, please limit all lines to less than 80
	characters.
