But it's current practice in applications to treat LFs as line break when displaying/entering the data. >> It's entirely up to you whether you want to add LFs or not.

Whether the user adds LFs or not is not mandated by any of the mentioned applications at all. In opposite to that: Your proposal is to change what the admin enters by stripping all LFs. Normalization might make sense but users have to agree on the presentation form. The presentation form you propose might fit your needs but does not necessarily please someone else. All things done in a UI are compromises and as usual your mileage may vary. Ciao, Michael.
