MediaWiki renders:
[[Albert
Einstein]]

as written (i.e. it does not identify it as a link).

Mwlib renders it as:
ArticleLink target=u'Albert\nEinstein' ns=0


Allowing newlines (and other strange whitespace) inside links is dangerous for a few reasons:
- it does not emulate MediaWiki
- it allows for crazy bugs like the one I sent yesterday where links consume everything following them - the link target still can't be correctly followed, as it is un-normalised by nshandling - directly printing out link targets from a document lands up with badly-formed output
