Things are even worse. RFC 2616 part 3.7.1:

    HTTP applications MUST accept CRLF, bare CR, and bare LF as being
    representative of a line break in text media received via HTTP.

So your proposal that HTTP clients should re-translate the text/* bodies 
is simply plain wrong because it would seriously violate the HTTP 
standard.

To put in other words: HTTP clients expect, and are told to expect by the 
standard, that they are delivered the data in the form that it was 
supposed to be.

So the conclusion is: The BTS has to deiver the data to HTTP clients in 
the form that it was supposed to be. It is a translator between a MIME and 
a HTTP environment, which are not compatible without translation.
