Here is a quote:

If the element is mutable, its value should be editable by the user. 
User agents must not allow users to insert "LF" (U+000A) or "CR" 
(U+000D) characters into the element's value.


I found it on this page:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#text-%28type=text%29-state-and-search-state-%28type=search%29

Does that explain why your example doesn't work?
