Interesting.

The note is in an example, and note in the text of the definition of the 
function, which is odd.

Anyway, I do not think such behaviour can be guarenteed, since it depends 
upon what the URI resolution process does.

In my case, I get normalized line endings from the URI resolution - it 
returns a text stream.

The XSLT specification cannot mandate what the contents of any particular 
URI will look like.
