I think the point here is that the user might not be aware that she wants 
to change the EOL format.  In such a case, C-x RET f and "Save As..." 
have the same problems.

The problem with "Save As..." suggestion is that Emacs asks for a file 
name, not a format, when you invoke that menu item, and, at least in the 
minibuffer dialog, there's no easy way of typing both a name and a 
format.  Perhaps it should ask one more question when invoked with an 
argument?
