Why should they? No system (old mac, unix, dos) has the correct
ASCII behaviour and no user expects them to. Squeak is multi-platform
and has its own internal conventions. Conversion should always default
towards the internal conventions, with the possibility to override that
behaviour. Default write-out should be to platform standard, eliminating
multi-convention line ends. If the user wants something different, she
knows enough to override the defaults.
