If there are isolated \n chars then one could assume that \n is the
line-ending, because on a DOS platform one would not get them alone.
If they always appear with \r (\r\n) then the platform is DOS-like
or like the RFC.  I'd tend to stick to the standards unless you can
deduce that you should not, in other words.  Eg, I mostly use unix,
but get mail from PC users.  Their CSV files, particularly from
Excel, will be RFC compatible in this respect.  But my platform will
have different ideas about what terminates a line.

How much can you slurp in to taste the solitary \n chars? That
probably sets a constraint on flexibility.
