RFC 4180
Common Format and MIME Type for Comma-Separated Values (CSV) Files
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4180.txt

"While there are various specifications and implementations for the
CSV format (for ex. [4], [5], [6] and [7]), there is no formal
specification in existence, which allows for a wide variety of
interpretations of CSV files. This section documents the format
that seems to be followed by most implementations:"
