Here's another data point:
If I add this script to an Automator workflow (as Run AppleScript), I can
then drag in the BBEdit Automator action Normalize Line Breaks (yes,
"breaks" and not "endings"), and it works.
However, it does not work to change the main script itself from "normalize"
to "normalizing", nor from "endings" to "breaks".
