Section 3.2 Line Endings, says: All occurrences of CRLF (U+000D U+000A) within a CSV+ must be normalised to LF (U+000A). This is significant within fields that contain line endings. I'm not sure I agree with this. I think the format should encourage a specific line ending, e.g. LF and parsers should normalise if other line-endings are used. But I don't think that line-endings in quoted fields should be altered as it means I can't round trip data through the format as field values get changed. Cheers, L.
