It turns out that there is a lot of discourse out there about "semantic newlines", under a few different names. So far the names I've seen are:

- One Sentence Per Line (OSPL) - Semantic Line Breaks (SemBr) - Semantic Linefeeds - Ventilated Prose - Semantic newlines

Reading through the pages below was helpful in getting a better idea of what language people use to discuss this. They're mostly historical retrospectives or arguments for the merit of semantic newlines.

(Actually I think one-sentence-per-line denotes something slightly different from semantic-line-breaks, not that I know what that difference is).
