Current ls implementation uses space for file separation in output, and apart from this messing the output, it's not compatible with old ls implementations (broke some scripts, including nash hack/check.sh).
GNU ls apparently use tabular output if stdout is /dev/stdout and one-file-per-line if stdout was changed to somewhere else.
I'm proposing to use newline to separate files in output in every case.
