 Do you have a definitive/authoritative reference that the ASCII name for 
 012 is "cr" (carriage return) vs "nl (newline)?  I find conflicting 
 references, but nothing authoritative.  (wikipedia comes close, and does 
 agree with you.)

 https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0000.pdf additionally uses CR
 instead of NL. I can't find a source for ascii now, but do recall
 seeing such in the past.

Subject: PR/52989 CVS commit: src/share/man/man7
Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2018 02:29:37 +0000

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	pgoyette
 Date:		Thu Feb  8 02:29:37 UTC 2018

 Modified Files:
 	src/share/man/man7: ascii.7

 Log Message:
 Since this is describing the ASCII character set, use the correct
 ASCII abbreviation for character 012.  All references I can find
 which seem to be even remotely authoritative and/or definitive use
 "lf" (for "line feed") rather than "nl" (for "new line").

 See https://www.ascii-code.com and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

      Actually only have the change requested was committed.  The
 other half was to change the entry for 014 from "np" to "ff".  The
 latter is what I have always known it as.
