Ok, I see. I read, reread the doc prior posting, and, in my mind, it is not
obvious to understand this subtle difference from the doc.
Sorry for the noise.

This is as documented:<br>

The keyword argument is named &#39;newline&#39;, the attribute is named 
&#39;newlines&#39;.  The attribute does not record what was passed to the 
newline argument, rather it records what newlines have been actually 
encountered.<br>
