I've found Tab Separated Value (TSV) is easier to implement and more
reliable, than CSV.
Spread sheets like Excel can get CSV handling wrong in some edge
cases, like nested quoted commas, mis-matched quotes etc.  Excel, and
as far I know GNUmeric, implement TSV fine.  It is rare for a user to
put a Tab in their data fields, unlike commas.
