Well, internally you could use U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR, which would
screw up *everybody* if they don't use the converter, since there are
probably very few editors that understand U+2028.  I've heard that
this is what Samba did when converting to Unicode: intead of using
UTF-8 they used UTF-16 so that English would be at least as buggy as
any other language.

Maybe there's somebody who was participating in Samba at that time who
knows?
