TPI Checksum and CR/LF

I'm still trying to understand the spec, but it seems like the checksum could theoretically have a CR/LF encoded in it since CR and LF are in the lower nibble of the ascii range. This makes the protocol a little unpredictable, especially if the data lengths aren't fixed as well. No? (ok, the maybe ...
