*> Upon reciept, the following SHOULD be seen as at least line ending *> (or line separating), and in some cases more than that: *> *> LF, CR+LF, VT, CR+VT, FF, CR+FF, CR (not followed by NUL...), *> NEL, CR+NEL, LS, PS I don't know whether you regard this as relevant, but I believe that in the ARPAnet/early Internet days, FF was not regarded as ending a line. FF only moved the platen one line at the current character position. I believe that this was a formalization of the mechanical operation of a teletype machine. This interpretation was also, I believe, incorporated by Jon Postel in the rules for NVT and for RFC formatting. I can't believe I am reopening this old topic... ;-( Bob Braden _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
