Hey,
Well the problem is not having a uniform record separator, but having one that is applicable on the platform. If I'd use \n in my files on every platform, and only my code would access it, it wouldn't be a problem ofcourse... but assume someone will actually have to edit something manually and finds his editor acting weird cause of the \n's...
