>Wrap: Line-breaking occurs if the line overflows beyond the available block width, even if the standard line breaking algorithm cannot determine any line break opportunity, as in the case of a very long word constrained in a fixed-width container with no scrolling allowed.

>WrapWithOverflow: Line-breaking occurs if the line overflows beyond the available block width. However, a line may overflow beyond the block width if the line breaking algorithm cannot determine a line break opportunity, as in the case of a very long word constrained in a fixed-width container with no scrolling allowed.

I think the source of my confusion was thinking of 'WrapWithOverflow' as meaning 'Wrap ON overflow'
IAC your suggested name is better (though longer :-{ )
