The only reason I can come up with is so you can view your document
in a brain-dead editor that cann't be switch from a single \n and to
\r\n to get a line break.

But then again, I think you could deprecate setLineSeparator and always
use \n.  If someone needed to convert all \n to \r\n, they could always write
a simple FilteredOutputStream and pass a instance of it to Serializer.
