[I have been trying *not* to respond to this thread, since
the following comment is classic bikeshedding on the naming
of things and I am, in general, hopeless at naming things ... :-D ]

<bikeshedding>
I don't think you need to include 'text' in the name of the
line ending descriptors - if its not binary then its some
form of text. So, maybe something like:

    binary
    none
    lf
    crlf
    mixed
