Mark Jason Dominus once gave a talk about Web application security. His
first rule was, "Never trust the browser." It's possible to submit all
sorts of things (including %0A, a newline), and some browsers allow
anything to be entered in a text field, even if yours doesn't. :)

That is. In this case, \n and \r are both matched by "characters that
aren't A-Za-z0-9. ," and therefore removed.
