In article <p06002008bbbc32627620@[192.168.254.4]> you write:

If you can show a single real document that this applies to, I'll take
it more seriously.

The problem is that you don't know which characters are line breaks
until you've read the version number.

The change was based on implementor feedback, in particular a comment
from me, though I only suggested outlawing the new line end characters.

The CR period is for implementation feedback.  Since it affects no
existing (i.e. 1.0) documents, I can't see any need to go back to
last call.
