            Bug ID: 28216
           Summary: [XSLT30] XPath 3.0 requires host languages to specify
                    the kind of line ending normalization
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Last Call drafts

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XSLT 3.0

The XPath 3.0 bug 14917, resolved during CR period, introduced the following
requirement for host languages of XPath under A.2.3 End-of-Line Handling
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-30/#id-eol-handling):

<quote>
The host language must specify whether the XPath 3.0 processor normalizes all
line breaks on input, before parsing, and if it does so, whether it uses the
rules of [XML 1.0] or [XML 1.1].
</quote>

I tried to search using several keywords for whether we specify that
normatively somewhere, but I couldn't find it. 

I think we ought to add somehow/somewhere specifically how line endings are
(not) normalized for XPath expressions to meet this XPath 3.0 requirement
(note: the bug also applies to earlier XPath versions and by extension to
earlier XSLT versions).
