The first is that it does not make clear what constitutes line endings.
In PGP we treat CR LF, CR, and LF all as line endings and convert each
one to CR LF.

What about the other line ending characters?  With Unicode (or even
ISO-8859-x close to an EBCDIC environment), there a few more
characters which could end a line.

What about systems such as VMS with out-of-band signalling for line
endings?
