> The XML serialization support in Sun Java 1.4.2_12 doesn't serialize CR characters to XML.  As a result, if the document text contains CR characters, XCAS or XMI serialization will cause them to be lost, resulting in incorrect annotation offsets.  This is exposed in the DocumentAnalyzer, with the highlighting being incorrect if the input document contains CR characters.
> Unit test failure occurred in XCasToCasDataHandlerTest, but the test was modified so it passes.  In that test an assertEquals of two strings fails, yet the strings appear identical in the compare viewer.
> The problem does not occur in Sun Java 1.5 or later, or with IBM Java.
> Probably a documentation update is an appropriate way to address this.
