[Bug 16311] New: newlines are an integral part of text mode serialization too

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16311

           Summary: newlines are an integral part of text mode
                    serialization too
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Working drafts
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Serialization 3.0
        AssignedTo: zongaro@ca.ibm.com

In XML serialization, we can produce
<X>1</X>
<Y>2</Y>
output.

For TEXT mode serialization, it should be just as easy to get
1
2
output.

Mainly what I'm trying to say is in the world of TEXT mode, please don't just
offer an endless stream of items separated by SPACES. Instead remember that
TEXT mode is two dimensional: newlines and spaces!

Don't force the user to hardcode raw newlines in just to get them back out.
