I wonder if 浪漫 was originally a back-borrowing from Japanese, in which it's actually pronounced rо̄man?
Oh, that would make sense. 浪 seems like an odd phonetic match, coming from Chinese...
I find it a nice happy medium, but I may be biased ;)
That actually sounds nice to me, too. I enjoy how much etymology is packed into the traditional characters, but some of them have so many strokes, it seems very reasonable to want to simplify them. Just, yeah -- maybe not all the way down to 云!
