Date wrap?
Is it OK to split a date into two lines? If so, are there rules on where the date should be split? For example, can "February 25, 2008" be wrapped onto two lines, or should it always be kept on the same line?

It's a style issue, but you should try to avoid breaking the date at the end of the line if you can. I forget the ascii code for a hard space, but you can put one before the numeral in the datea and between the comma and the year, and it will treat the entire block as one word and not break it. In very narrow columns of text, it will be hard to avoid it.
