The following is from: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml
2.11 End-of-Line Handling
XML parsed entities are often stored in computer files
which, for editing convenience, are organized into
lines. These lines are typically separated by some
combination of the characters carriage-return (#xD) and
line-feed (#xA).
To simplify the tasks of applications, the characters
passed to an application by the XML processor must be
as if the XML processor normalized all line breaks
in external parsed entities (including the document
entity) on input, before parsing, by translating both the
two-character sequence #xD #xA and any #xD that is not
followed by #xA to a single #xA character.
...
3.3.3 Attribute-Value Normalization
Before the value of an attribute is passed to the
application or checked for validity, the XML processor
must normalize the attribute value by applying the
algorithm below, or by using some other method such that
the value passed to the application is the same as that
produced by the algorithm.
1.All line breaks must have been normalized on input to
#xA as described in 2.11 End-of-Line Handling, so the
rest of this algorithm operates on text normalized in
this way.
