This is a bug report for xml2rfc's text output.  I ran into it with a
real draft (which had a legitimately long section title) but i've
narrowed it down to a simple reproducer here.

Attached is a sample foo.xml draft.

When i ask xml2rfc to generate a text version, it builds a corrupted
table of contents:

$ xml2rfc --v3 --text foo.xml --out foo.txt
(No source line available): Warning: Too long line found (L64), 80 characters longer than 72 characters: 
           Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lorem Ipsum Lo  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   2

$ cat foo.txt

it looks like it's some sort of line-wrapping miscalculation in
generating the text output for section title that are particularly
long (if i add or remove a few extra characters to the section title it
wraps correctly).
