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
