And the application doesn't try to convert the cells into non-string data types like numbers, dates, etc.

Converting strings into other data types is out of scope for CSV, not really undefined behavior. The type conversions happen at a later stage of the import process.

It's out of scope for the RFC, but it could still be undefined behavior for the import/export process.
