...I trust that the 4646 record-jar format is fine.  Actually
I'm sure.  We discussed XML vs. "STD 10 header style" in the
last round, and also UTF-8 vs. NCRs.  So far I haven't seen a
compelling reason to change this.  Folks who really want XML
obviously can convert it.  Converting it to a variant of CSV
should be also trivial, ASCII offers 0x1C .. 0x1F separators
if all else fails.

P.S::  Your lineend problem beats me, my two gawks (2.15pl5 and
3.0.6) don't care if it's Lf or CrLf.  Officially it should be
CrLf as in RFC 4234 (and as specified in RFC 4646).
