Having the possibility to set the line-ending would
heal issues with some editors on the win side which
do messy stuff with non-Windows line-endings. I don't know
if there are issues on the Mac OS side.

Maybe one should consider the addition of such a feature,
although,
in my opinion, not to the extent of DOM's Load and Save
module,
where the line-ending can be set to an arbitrary value - I
wonder
what was the background to allow this:

LSSerializer-newLine
