Hello Developers,

The head has currently a pattern on the Datatype String which makes it a little hard to upgrade some sites. The pattern is \A[^\n\r]*\z which means that no newlines are allowed in the input. There is a specialization 'field' which does allow newlines, but we haven't used that a lot in our builders. It sounds odd to me that a specialization is more lenient then its base type.

I propose to make a new specialization and move the pattern to that one.

    <specialization id="line">
      <!-- no new lines -->
      <pattern value="\A[^\n\r]*\z" />
    </specialization>

Nico
