MOSV
There is a group of free software here in Belo Horizonte/MG named Minas Livre in which we often made hack parties. Last weekend we done a 48h hack party, with pit stops to sleep (only). During the conversations, a subject was brought: CSV.
A dude said that CSV must be considerated only when using commas, so if you use a semi-colon would be SCSV (semi-colon separated values).
