I don't think so.  The RFC quote you provided talks about the physical
manifestation of CR and LF on a terminal, and says that a Telnet server
must be prepared to handle various combinations, but if you think about a
real Telnet session, the user is going to press CR when its through with a
line.  Thus, I would think he needs either \r\r or \n\n.
