Even then, I don't think we *need* to do it. Unicode generally allows tailoring (so long as you specify), and the entirety of chapter 5 (Implementation Guidelines) is explicitly non-normative. That said, it might be a sensible change anyhow, particularly if we treat it like the CRLF combination, so that a Form Feed at the the end of a line doesn't force splitlines to produce an empty line. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
