The quotation marks are stylistic rather than for attribution.

My personal experience comes from ingesting product feeds from online stores. Misapplication of \ from other encodings was the most common sin, but I'm pretty sure I saw about three dozen others, from double-comma to null-terminated strings to re-encoding offending characters as hex escapes. (And, of course, TSV files called CSV files, with the same suite of problems.)
