Terry, I have already made the point """the docs bug is #7198. This is the 
meaningful-exception bug."""

My review is """changing 'should' to 'must' is not very useful without a 
consistent interpretation of what those two words mean and without any 
enforcement of use of newline=''.

I was patient enough to wait 2 months for a review of my "doc patch" on #7198. 

My issues are that the 3.2 docs have NOT been changed (have a look at the 
csv.writer paragraph: do you see the word "newline" anywhere??), #7198 has been 
closed without any action, and BOTH of these two issues (which have in effect 
been lurking about since Python 3.0.0alpha) appear to have been abandoned.
