Re: Line breaks in comments.

Well i actually did the wrong assumption. After some research, I actually
found that the file itself contains CR+LF everywhere (some people just don't
like to solve this issues using SVN possibilities). So the comment atually
preserved the original line break from the source. But then the problem
still stays - line breaks in text nodes are transformed into LF. I've
attached the test page (is this possible to send attachments?). I wouldn't
particularly mind about doing the transformation, but then it should be done
for everything. I've stated Webkit preserves them, but I was actually wrong
- it transforms all to LF, but at least this is consistent approach. Opera
seems to preserve everyting, but not sure if in the latest version.

So consistency in this would help writing unit tests form my serializer, and
also if I want to create an in page WYSIWYG editor it's a little
disappointing that I can not preserve the original source formatting at
least (not mentioning things like entities, cause that's far out of the
topic).
