This article seems like it was written to troll people into a flame war. There is no such character as NL, and the article does not at all address that fact that the "ENTER" key on every keyboard sends a CR and not a LF. Things work fine the way they are.

U+0085 is sometimes called NL (it is the standard in EBCDIC), but more often NEL in the ASCII world.
