It looks like they accept not only LF, CR, CR-LF, but also LF-CR.
Is the latter of any practical relevance?

Because if Unicode people spot the slightest opportunity to add
pointless complexity to anything, they tend to pounce on it.

Why just specify one line ending convention, when you can require the
processor of the file to watch out for four different tokens denoting
the line break?
