Given the infinity of CSV variants existing is the very reason why CSV blows goats, creating a spec compatible with that is
1. a fool's errand, CSV "variants" are not compatible with one another and regularly contradict one another (one needs not look any further than Excel's localised CSVs)
2. resulting in getting CSV anyway, which is a lot of efforts to do nothing
