Well, most programs just don't care about CR, a parser will likely be 
written like that:

switch (character)
{
   case '\n' :
     line ++ ;
     break ;

   case '\r':
     break ;

   ...
}

By the way XML files are not supposed to be edited by humans (well 
sometimes) but people doing that are supposed to use a decent text editor!

So I believe it's not an issue at all, just keep to use Unix text format 
standard, it will be fine.
