<p>Invisible XML processors normalize line endings when they read grammar and
input files. They apply the same rules as [<a href="#xml">XML</a>]: every
occurrence of the two character sequence <code>#d #a</code>, and any
<code>#d</code> not immediately followed by a <code>#a</code>, are translated
into a single <code>#a</code> in the input. This assures that the single
character <code>#a</code> can always be used to match an end of line,
irrespective of the conventions of the system where the files were created. It
follows that the iXML exclusion <code>~[#a]*</code> will always match all of the
characters to the end of a line.</p>

<p>If an input encoded in UTF-8 begins with a BOM, the BOM
<span class="conform">should</span> be ignored.</p>
