Primarily, what one sees on a terminal display is not necessarily appropriate
for other output devices.  The DWB and TEX approach (embedded formatter
commands) supports near-optimal output matched to any device, whereas
page layout approaches force the output to be the same for all devices.
Depending on what you're trying to do, that may or may not be appropriate.
