I suppose the right way to create a "cell" with multiple lines in TSV is to use 
vertical tab char(11) instead of CRLF,
but the last time I checked, Excel doesn't handle VT well. (Numbers does).

for CSV with quotes I published

https://github.com/miyako/4d-component-csv

which follows the various rules explained here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180

in any case, it doesn't feel right to pretend that CSV or TSV is an Excel 
spreadsheet.

why not at least use XML, if XLS or XLSX is a bit of an overkill?

the method has been around since v2004 (introduction of PROCESS 4D TAGS and 
DOM/SAX XML commands)
