Hi all,

I've been looking at this bug and am ready to start putting in some work on it 
but I have some questions about what is wanting to be done. From what I can 
tell these are the possible tasks for this issue.

- Add to the docs under the dialect section the excel attributes vs. the 
dialect class attributes and explain how the excel dialect is the default and 
this is the functionality you'd be changing by creating a new dialect.

- Add code to make sure that a certain number of attributes are set before the 
dialect can be accessed. (Though this might be C code and not really a C 
programmer nor do I know where _Dialect is in the repository)

- Change the defaults in the dialects class because currently the documentation 
for "double quote" and "skip initial space" says that the default is False when 
in the code it is None. Also I did not find the "strict" dialect in the module 
at all. (maybe its part of that C code that I don't know how to find.

- Add an example to the documentation on sub-classing dialect under the example 
on registering a new dialect

If someone could clarify which of these is the desired direction for this issue 
it would be much appreciated.
