This may affect the behavior of some Java XSLT processors, but it won't affect
the behavior of Saxon. I don't see anything in the JAXP specs that says it's
relevant.

Note that according to the 3.1 serialization spec (I haven't checked earlier
versions but I suspect they're the same), the serializer has discretion to use
CRLF rather than LF as a line ending when inserting indentation, but it has no
license to do so when outputting the content of text (or attribute) nodes in
the actual transformation result. A newline (LF) character appearing in a text
node must be serialized as a newline character; a CR character appearing in a
text node must be serialized as &#x0D; or equivalent.

I would suggest sending the transformation result to a StreamResult that
contains a custom implementation of OutputStream that translates LF to CRLF.
