Created attachment 985
  --> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/attachment.cgi?id=985
demo with fields set to CR and LF, reports .value and on submit you'll see the
encoded result in the URL field

Browsers tend to normalize stray CR and LF characters to CRLF when submitting a
form. The algorithm on
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#application/x-www-form-urlencoded-encoding-algorithm
doesn't seem to special-case CR and LF at all, I believe this is required.

This applies to both textarea and input type=hidden.
