If the removal of ""'s will *always* be preferable for gnuplot, then we should be able make that conversion the default behavior. However, before such a conversion we'd need to ensure that the new format is more generally useful than the existing export format.
Both `org-babel-gnuplot-quote-tsv-field' and `org-babel-gnuplot-table-to-data' could fairly easily be customized to support different table formatting.
