I made the following wrong assumption about the csv EBNF

record ->  field {delim field}

Is that in the docs?


There's at least some csv "standard" documents requiring my
interprestion, e.g.,

http://mastpoint.curzonnassau.com/csv-1203/CSV-1203.pdf

but by no means all. That's why I thought it might be something
that should be documented rather than discovered.

Of particular note, a recent patch added a reference to RFC4180
(though not stating that it is compliant), which also does not
recognize zero field length records.

Feel free to open a tracker issue suggesting specific doc changes.
