    In the current (newline) test I assume no negotiation was done so that it
    wouldn't interfere with the testing of the default conditions. Given that
    the server/tester was wrong to send just the LF, wasn't the user
    implementation also wrong to process it as a newline rather than just a
    'plain' LF ?

Only if the can explain how the user implementation should have treated
a plain LF as distinct from "end-of-line".  For unix, they pretty much
do the same thing.
