It's not just editors: Unix text processing tools don't expect to find
\r\n as the line terminator, and treat the \r as part of the data.

BTW, the default lineSeparator is \r\n, but that's not documented in
the JavaDoc (either under Node or under Serializer). It should be.

Also, the page http://www.xom.nu points to the d12 version rather than
the current one.
