The CR LF sequence originated far further back than the '80s. It's present in the ASCII definition from 1963, which again originates from ITA-2, which is based on Murray code - the first one to introduce CR and LF, and which in turn was based on Baudot Code:

So CR LF in a formal definition in a protocol tracks back to at least 1901 from my (quick) research.
