This is certainly a good workaround, but fails for the case of EBCDIC documents translated to UTF-8 or UTF-16 before being passed to the XML parser. When I looked at this about a year ago, it appeared that existing parsers didn't in fact translate 0x85 to 0xA as part of their Unicode translation, so they would have to be changed anyway to support EBCDIC documents. Given that, it seems that they might as well do it at the XML line-end normalization level instead, and thus support NEL for UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoded documents as well as EBCDIC encoded ones. -- Richard
