Some web browsers will re-format the source of the page. Are you sure
you are looking at the "real" text the server is serving? If your HTML
is as atrocious as others claim, perhaps the HTML parser is getting
confused and giving up, allowing the lines to wrap however they want.

Also... who cares about line-wrapping in HTML source? HTML renderers
should ignore whitespace in documents.

It sounds like the CR LFs don't exist in the first place, so no
stripping is going on. I requested the .html file you located at
http://workshop.dreamapps.com/da/docs/test.html and there were quite a
few places where lines were quite long (much longer than 80, 120, etc.
characters).
