With the exception of the one line limit, I agree with you here.
What's wrong with having a two or three line plan?  I have seen
teachers use it to list phone numbers/prefered accounts for e-mail,
etc.  I have even seen some people use it to indicate if they are
actually logged in or not.  However, there should be some protection
against unprintable stuff in the plan/project files.
