That seems good to me, so I'll just use that as-is for Emacs 31. How 
about this for the release branch?


*** New option 'shr-fill-text'.
When 'shr-fill-text' is non-nil (the default), SHR will fill the text
according to the width of the window.  If you customize it to nil, SHR
will leave the text as-is; in that case, EWW will automatically enable
'visual-line-mode' when displaying a page so that long lines are
visually wrapped at word boundaries.


(If you think this makes the Emacs 31 NEWS entry partially redundant, I 
can try to trim that one down to only discuss the new additions, but I 
don't mind either way.)
