Re: domain.xml in notepad

Unless I'm mistaken, the "trouble" is that the domain.xml file has
Unix line endings (\n) rather than Windows line endings (\n\r) and so
Windows Notepad does not open it properly. Instead the \r shows up as
an unknown character (rendered as a box) and the XML appears as a huge
blob with no line breaks.

More historical data on line endings is available from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_feed

I'm not positive that "fixing" this problem is really a great idea,
instead I'd tell Windows users to please use a better editor that
understands Windows and Unix line endings as previously mentioned in
this thread... But that's my 2c.
