I wouldn't call CSV trivial, and yes, I'd want to have a precise
specification of the format in front of me if I wanted to implement
it.  RFC 4180 seems to be the closest thing we have to a standard,
but it's not universally followed.

The csvtool that's available for most Linux distributions isn't
that one.  It's another tool of the same name, implemented in OCaml,
with a completely different user interface.  I don't know whether
they implement the same CSV specification.
