Title: Retaining Carriage Return/Line Feed in attribute values

Hi,

Is there a way to retain the carriage return and line feed characters in the attribute values.  I noticed that they were replaced with spaces. 

Is there a reason for this?  Would it affect the code if I retained these control characters?

Thanks.
