Few people today are aware of the EOL issue, because systems generally
(but not always!) make it transparent.  For example, the RFC Editor
stores the official RFC archive on a Unix system whose native EOL is a
single LF.  When you click on a link for an RFC from the RFC Editor Web
page, your browser uses an FTP client to retrieve the ASCII text.  The
RFC's FTP server atranslates the LF in each text line into CR LF for
transmission across the Internet, and your FTP client in turn
translates each CR LF into whatever the EOL convention of your
system.
