Description
I downloaded EDI.NET and was trying to parse 2 different EDI x12 documents, both 850's.
One parsed successfully, one didn't.
The one that didn't I noticed had CRLF characters in the file. The one that parsed just fine did not have these, and I saw where the default grammar settings for x12 choked on the CRLF in another issue someone raised.
I saw about the custom grammar but I'm failing to understand how this is going to be able to handle both files. Is it simpler just to take the file, strip out the CRLF characters and parse that resulting file?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the two X12 850 documents and inspect how the default X12 grammar handles CRLF characters. Determine whether both documents can be parsed without stripping line endings; done when the behavior is covered by a clear fix or documented limitation.
