In my experience users often don't know the difference between LF and 
CR. And they shouldn't have to care, all they need to know is that a 
text file has line endings that will work with other software on their 
system (single charactor indication), or if not, what type of system 
this text file has come from so they can make an intelligent decision no 
what to do about it.
