 There is currently no standard for transporting JSON within a stream protocol, apart from \[[Websockets]\], which is unnecessarily complex for non-browser applications.
 
-There were numerous possibilities for JSON framing, including counted strings and non-ASCII delimiters (DLE STX ETX or Websocket�s 0xFFs).
+There were numerous possibilities for JSON framing, including counted strings and non-ASCII delimiters.
 
 The primary use case for LDJSON is an unending stream of JSON objects, delivered at variable times, over TCP, where each object needs to be processed as it arrives. e.g. a stream of stock quotes or chat messages.

 ### 3.1 Sending
 
-Each JSON object MUST be written to the stream followed by the newline character 0x0A. The JSON objects MUST NOT contain newlines or carriage returns.
+Each JSON object MUST be written to the stream followed by the newline character `\n` (0x0A). The newline charater MAY be preceeded by a carriage return `\r` (0x0D). The JSON objects MUST NOT contain newlines or carriage returns.
 
 All serialized data MUST use the UTF8 encoding.
 
 ### 3.2 Receiving
 
-The receiver MUST accept newline as line delimiter: �0x0A� (Unix)
+The receiver MUST accept newline as line delimiter `\n` (0x0A) as well as carriage return and newline `\r\n` (0x0D0A). The receiver SHOULD silently ignore empty lines, e.g. `\n\n`.
 
 #### 3.2.1 Trivial Implementation
 
 A simple implementation is to accumulate received lines. Every time a line ending is encountered, an attempt MUST be made to parse the accumulated lines into a JSON object.
 
 If the parsing of the accumulated lines is successful, the accumulated lines MUST be discarded and the parsed object given to the application code.
 
-If the amount of unparsed, accumulated characters exceeds 16MiB the receiver MAY close the stream. Resource constrained devices MAY close the stream at a lower threshold, though they MUST accept at least 1KiB.

-#### 3.2.2 Other Implementations

-Alternate, more efficient, implementations are possible using a custom JSON parser.

-The reference NodeJS/Javascript implementation can be found on github.
