Apparently I'm not receiving all mail from W3C, because I didn't receive the referenced email, but I see a 4th alternative, namely to have a specific notation for newline, that implementations would map to the local machine's newline convention. That way there is a generalised notation of newlines, without excluding other uses of the characters involved, nor requiring the implementations to mess with the input stream.
Using / as a strawperson, since that is what is used in poetry:
file = line++/, /*.
line = ~[/]+.
where / stands for the character or characters used in the newline sequence on the implementation, with the understanding that [/] may need special treatment.
input: "Host: ", host, ":", port, /,
"Connection: keep-alive", /,
"Accept: ", mediatype++",", /.
