You didn't read the texinfo documentation for ls. To quote:

By default, the output is sorted alphabetically.  If standard output
is a terminal, the output is in columns (sorted vertically) and control
characters are output as question marks; otherwise, the output is listed
one per line and control characters are output as-is.
</snip>

Perhaps I have not made myself as clear as I would have liked to.

My point is, I have seen that happen to 'ls' and I like what I see there.
However, the (perhaps) natural assumption that output will be in the 
same format regardless of the output device has been shaken. 

Are there any other anomalies like 'ls' that I should be watching out 
for?

Thanks anyways,

With warmest Regards,
Linux Rockz
