§ 9.1.2.5 "Restrictions on content models" mentions that an

be removed. Should it not cover carriage return (\r) and \r\n as
well?
If you put \r or \r\n in the source, you are expressing a \n. If
you want to express a \r, you need to escape it, and then the tree
builder doesn't zap it.

 also ends up being \n in HTML, no?
Yes. Escaping \n doesn't make the tree builder preserve it.
