If you mean out-of-the-box visual browsers, Lynx.

Interpreting \r\n here as starting a new line would also be an error
because \r and \n are equivalent to space and sequences of spaces
should be collapsed into a single one. Indeed, _not_ collapsing
sequences of spaces is an error as well.
XHTML (How To Meet Ladies, X-Rated) is, ahem, different.

Uniformity in _rendering_ was never an ideal.

No.

"W3C standard" is mildly misleading, given that the W3C is, in spite
of the image they project, a consortium, not a standards body. The
W3C publish technical reports called Recommendations, not to be
confused with bona fide standards such as those published by ISO or,
as close as we get to Internet standards, IETF.
