Hi Tim,

I am writing an XML Schema regex for instance documents which may be used
on many different platform. Prior to this discussion I assumed that the
regex needed to account for every possible set of line break characters
which could occur on the different platforms. Then I discovered that line
breaks are normalized. But my instance documents used
xml:space="preserve", so I needed to find out if that impacted line break
normalization. Then I learned that xml:space="preserve" has no impact on
line break normalizing.
This is a long-winded way of saying, "in an XML Schema regex, the line
break character is \n, regardless of the platform that the XML document is
located on".
