The TSV file format definition is very simple:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/tab-separated-values

TSV has a particular advantage over CSV, which is simplicity. In my projects I
often find users who were supposed to manipulate data exported from other
systems are often confused with multiple options provided by CSV, e.g. text
delimiter, field delimiter.

gnumeric recognizes .tsv format and opens without asking user a single question
like the text delimiter (because there is none, tab-separated-values do not
distinguish text and digits) or field delimiter. This gives advantage for system
implementors like me to provide user with TSV format with the confidence user
will ask less questions to support team or mess up data by answered wrongly
about text delimiter. I think OOO should do alike.

Furthermore although TSV format did not specify what is the EOL, I recommend
always default to CRLF (despite OS difference) for two reasons:
1) more application accepts CRLF than CR or LF;
2) it provide the convenience that non-Windows users can process the TSV file
with text tools like AWK, using CRLF as record separator would let them accept
table cells that contain linebreak in either CR or LF.

It's not necessary to add TSV available in Sheet from File function because
those who use that function is probably aware of the delimiter concepts.
