OpenOffice improperly imports a field in a CSV file that contains only a single
quote. I am able to get it to import the field properly if the field contains
two single quotes enclosed in a set of double quotes. The test file at the url
above is an example file that shows this behavior.

Excel doesn't exhibit this behavior.

>From what I read of RFC 4180, it looks like OpenOffice is not RFC compliant.
That said, implementing CSV doesn't seem to straight forward either (there seem
to be several interpretations of how a CSV file should be formatted). However,
given that OpenOffice is an office suite and strives to be compatible with
Excel, I think its behavior should be similar to Excel's.
