Added Affects: Inkscape.
I believe we should work with Inkscape on this bug, to know what works and what doesn't on what platforms.
We *could* make Scour write \n in binary mode, and that would be it -- it would be valid SVG on all platforms, since unimportant whitespace is removed, and the XML/SVG specifications define their newline behavior explicitly if xml:space is set to preserve. However, Windows Notepad users would not be happy (workaround: use Wordpad, it recognises \n), and there *could* be all sorts of weird things happening with Inkscape. That would then be an Inkscape bug related to Scour, not a Scour bug per se.
So I'll be awaiting Inkscape's input on this bug (and patch) first.
