I believe that I have found the justification to close this bug.  The "News 
Article Format" draft RFC has said, through all drafts over several years, 
that:

  "The syntax above defines the canonical form of a news
   article as a sequence of lines each terminated by CRLF. This
   does not prevent serving agents or transport agents from storing
   or handling the article in other formats (e.g. using a single LF
   in place of CRLF) so long as the overall effects achieved are as
   defined by this standard when operating on the canonical form."

See: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-usefor-article-10.txt

Based upon that, I do not believe that it is an RFC violation in any way to 
convert local content to RFC compliant line termination as it is emitted by 
ExtraDotOutputStream.
