Description:
------------
Line feed characters has beed accidentally removed from a tag attributes.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$string = "<a title=\" 123 \n 456 \r\n 789 \">link</a>";
$parser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING, 0);
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE, 0);
xml_parse_into_struct($parser, $string, $values, $tags);
xml_parser_free($parser);
print '<pre>';
print_r( $values );
print '</pre>';

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to keep all line feed characters in attributes.
Better if it could be possible add a special option 
for xml_parser, like 
xml_parser_set_option($parser, XML_OPTION_KEEP_LF, 1);

I believe this is the correct behavior according to the 
XML specification. See:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#AVNormalize

To preserve line feeds, you should either wrap your 
attribute values inside a CDATA section or use entities, 
like &#xA;.

&#xA; works great. Thanks. Not a bug.

Glad that works.
