So what I'd like is to have the right-margin displayed at say 78 chars, but soft wrap on the current window size.

As a recovering BBEdit user, this is a feature I miss. If I understand you correctly, it's what BBEdit calls it the Page Guide (or "Philip Bar" in older versions). A few Windows editors that I use at work have this feature too.

I think it's very convenient, since there are times when wrapping is impractical, but you'd still like a subtle indication that you're wandering off too far. It works especially well with a keystroke assigned to this script: <http://daringfireball.net/2004/10/ bbedit_soft_wrap_toggling>.
