I still don't understand why you are struggling with the newline characters

Many thanks for this. You have uncovered a blind spot in my thinking.
So instead of clumsily preserving newlines *that it knows must end every
line*, each importer will simply remove newlines with s.splitlines(False).
That's the only per-importer change required! The code we have been
discussing appears in the base Importer class. i.finalize_ivars, also in
the base class, will restore trailing newlines like this:
v._bodyString = ''.join[z+'\n' for z in v._import_lines]
This is itself simpler than the existing code.
This is way too good to miss. Because the changes affect the base Importer
class, all new importers must be changed simultaneously.
Existing unit tests should catch any mistakes. To be doubly careful, I may
add a g.new switch to mark changed code. Maybe today...
