CRLF or LF could be used as the defined separators for a "lines" range  
count.  This wouldn't be useful for all formats, but could be useful  
for many text and text-based formats or even binary formats that  
happened to use LF as a line separator.

I know MS software uses "rows" counters for XML-formatted data but as  
you say that's dependent on a particular format.  I'm not aware of any  
other implemented range units beyond bytes.
