Semantic newlines can be challenging as IIUC it's not deterministic?

I mean, I had a feeling that some paragraph could have multiple valid ways
to do the layout and newlines without violating the rule.  IMHO that could
be a challenging part for contributors.

(Or maybe the rule was deterministic but I didn't really fully digest it..)

But the tool (even without the newline detections) looks promising and
helpful.

Thanks,
