Text format proposal (was Re: Text reflow woes (or: I want bullets back!)y)

[James Tomasino]

From: Sean Conner <sean at conman.org>
The two characters LF and CR MUST appear in that order in a Gemini index
file.  It is unspecified (at this time) what should happen if a single LF or
CR is encountered.  Both characters together constitute the "end of line
marker".

Was there an earlier discussion on this point? That looks lifted from the gopher RFC, but is there a reason why it's applying to Gemini? It seems quite specific and arbitrary to require both these days. Did someone have a good justification already?
