> Any escaping or encoding of these characters would make the format less human-readable, harder to parse and could introduce ambiguity and consistency problems.

Found the wording of "could introduce ambiguity and consistency problems" a bit odd, but guess they mean that even if things are specified precisely (so there's no ambiguity) not everyone would follow the rules or something? And they want to play nice with other tools following the TSV "standard"

Please. I wrote a csv parser a couple weeks ago in an hour or two. It's not that hard to handle the quoting and edge cases. Yes, maybe different parsers will handle them differently, but just document your choices and that's that. How is ambiguity better than completely disallowing certain chars? That's a non-starter
