Um, you're missing something about my argument: for a diff, we should be
translating the text-base, not the working copy. Inconsistent newlines
in the working copy won't cause a translation error becaues the working
copy isn't being translated, at all. So, are we doing translation the
wrong way? Or did inconsistent newlines somehow creep into the
text-base in the relevant examples?
