I think I can offer most reasonable compromise here. Decide upon on new UTF-8 code point. Have the use mandated and ignore and ban all end-points that do not use this code-point instead of CRLF or just LF alone.

Perfect. So now we just need to start filing bug reports to any tool that does not support it instead of CRLF or LF alone.
