Well, yes but unless you call setMaxLength() or setIndent() there'll 
be hardly any line breaks that weren't present in the source infoset. 
If you need line breaks for the next process, you'll either call 
setMaxLength or put them into your infoset. And if you do put them in 
the infoset for their use as linebreaks in a non-XML aware downstream 
process, then you probably do want them converted to the current line 
separator.
