do you think new line (\n) characters should be replaced by spaces ?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I use feedparser.py to parse http://blog.andrew.net.au/index.rss, I'm
seeing \n characters in the results, like this:

"[...]I\'ve been fascinated by the\ninfrastructure that is the heartbeat of
the project.[...]".

When I then post process this for display, I need to make sure that the \n
characters are replaced by spaces.

Do you think this replacement should be done in feedparser ? As far as I'm
concerned, it doesn't really matter. However, several people might find it
helpful if feedparser processes the new line characters.

I don't believe that Feedparser should be rewriting the content. For the most 
the 
content of these blog posts are html and it will be up to the rendering agent 
to deal 
with it. However if you believe otherwise please send a message to the mailing 
list: 
http://groups.google.com/group/feedparser-dev and we can discuss it further.
