Humpf ... for the xmlSave* functions that could be added as one xmlSaveOption, XML_SAVE_EOL_CRLF, but I'm not fond of this really this mean you have to check every character in every text node. This would require changes to the xmlWriter too, to be consistent. Lot of work and I really don't see the point, if people edit XML by hand, they better know what they are doing and using a decent editor is a basic requirement to do so. And if not editing by hand, that should be handled by an XML parser and that won't change anything. Sounds a lot of tricky and relatively expensive work for very little benefit.
