mmm, several things. First, 

 translates to LF,CR which is wrong on all
platforms. DOS/Win32 use CR,LF  Unix/Linux uses LF  and Mac uses CR, but no
platform or operating system I have ever heard of uses LF,CR

But you shouldnt be using platform specific line breaking anyway.

the spec is http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html section 7.4.3 but
sadly, it doesnt say a thing about how line breaking should be done in such elements
