I can understand IBM wanting to change XML to make things work on OS390 and I can understand many XML developers wanting to keep things the way they are. What I don't understand is if NELs and CRs mean the same thing, why do they have different Unicode representations? If they are the same thing then I would tentatively suggest that Unicode is at fault. Then the question would be: should Unicode be fixed or should XML be required to accommodate Unicode's short-comings?
