To quote one of my other replies....

Even the RFC4180 document dictates that CSV files *must* use CRLF as the
EOL character, no matter what platform is being used. So checking in
such files into SubVersion with eol-style=native would actually corrupt
(in theory) those data files.

  http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc4180.html

I don't see a *must* in that document (and confirms my thought that there is *no* CSV standard)

 Definition of the CSV Format
   While there are various specifications and implementations for the
   CSV format (for ex. [4], [5], [6] and [7]), there is no formal
   specification in existence, which allows for a wide variety of
   interpretations of CSV files.  This section documents the format that
   seems to be followed by most implementations

and

 Encoding considerations:

   As per section 4.1.1. of RFC 2046 [3], this media type uses CRLF
   to denote line breaks.  However, implementors should be aware that
   some implementations may use other values.
