Michael Osipov commented on CSV-230:
------------------------------------
[This|https://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-data-model/#formats-for-dates-and-times]
part is complete non-sense because it is impossible to make that kind of
parsing unambiguous.
> Support for csvw format
> -----------------------

> Key: CSV-230
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-230
> Project: Commons CSV
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Parser
> Reporter: lbruun
> Priority: Major
>
> Since the dawn of days usage of the CSV format has been plagued by the lack
> of standardization. Sure we've had RFC4180 but it stops short of defining
> many things that allows a consumer to correctly interpret a CSV file.
> The [csvw|https://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-data-model/] is a fairly new standard
> from W3C which aims to fix all of this. It defines the format of a (basically
> the RFC4180) but in addition defines how metadata for a CSV file should be
> conveyed.
> The csvw standard is a completed standard. It is not work-in-progress.
> Don't be fooled by its name: "CSV on the web" it applies equally so in the
> system-to-system space.
