Re: decode_eol and inconsistent EOL

[Richard Stallman]

    I agree.  Not that I have actually seen any program on the Mac that
    does this.  But since we are talking about pathological cases,
    anything may happen.

Anything may happen, so any policy we choose could sometimes give
wrong results.  The issue here is about which policy tends to give
correct results.  Therefore, to argue that a policy *could* be wrong
is neither here nor there.  That is true for all the alternatives.
Will it really happen in practice.
