This is a problem on Windows. If I read the specs ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-line-ends ) correctly, Windows newlines are allowed within XML. But PageTemplateFile opens them in binary mode, ignoring the fact the file might contain CRs. As a result, the parsed files contain a mix of CR/LF, LF and even CR newlines.

Is there any good reason why this was fixed for HTML, but not for XML files?
