The ASCII-armoured message format is defined in section 6 of RFC 4880;
it always includes newlines.

Have you thought about including the ASCII-armoured signature in
a CDATA section of your XML file?  Or, alternatively, "simply" encoding
the line break characters as 
 and 
 as specified in section 2.11
of the XML 1.0 specification?

If neither of those is possible, you could always try to encode
the signature in some other way - e.g. take a binary signature and represent
the string of octets as text in some way... of course, that would mean
the recipient would have to know exactly how to decode it.

G'luck,
Peter
