It shouldn't, but it does.  <sigh/>

True.

Paranoid, aren't we.  But you're right, there is no way to serialize
such a thing, and anyhow it should be mapped to LF.  I'm tempted to remove
line-end processing from the state table altogether and do it at a lower
level, just to make sure I haven't missed any corner cases, but it would
probably make TagSoup even slower.

What is the state-of-the-art profiler for Java, anyhow?  Time to start
improving performance.
