We basically need to choose between forcing server authors to normalise
all endings to CRLF or forcing client authors to recgonise LF (even

Neither really thrill me, but, well, here we are.
"it'll probably never be seen in the wild" why?just LF is the standard linux line ending, and if it's allowed, I'm fairly certain there will be several servers which would serve the files as-is, and given they'd likely be on some sort of unix machine, likely be ending with LF
CR on the other hand, is very unlikely to be found in the wild, since it's used by any living OS, afaik, and also should, in theory, just move cursor to the start of line, instead of putting a newline, at least on linux terminals... which would overwrite the line...
