[issue7643] What is an ASCII linebreak?

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

'\x85' when decoded using latin-1 is just transcoded to u'\x85' which is treated as the NEL (a C1 control code equivalent to end of line). This changes iteration over the file when you decode and actually broke our csv parsing code when we got some latin-1 encoded data with \x85 in it from our customer.
