I am not sure to understand what you are saying here.
The node editor can wrapp a line (I.E: *visually* cut the line when it reaches a
certain length) without modifying the actual
text node content. What the user would "see" in the widget would be different
from what would be saved, indeed. Again, the difference between rendering and
content. Content being what is actually serialized.

So, there are actually two *separate* capabilities to implement:
1/render a text node content according to a set of properties
2/serialize a text node content according to a set of properties

Same thing as said above.

I don't understand what you mean by "correct at edition time" since
rendering the text doesn't change the actual content of the text
and, serialization options are applied at ... serialization time.

I think serialization options (if any) would be applied
to the whole document (at least as a first step) as it's easier to code than
trying to deal with serialization options on a per node basis.
