In wikipedia [1], under Specification, #3, it states, "with the records divided into fields separated by delimiters (typically a single reserved character such as comma, semicolon, or tab; sometimes the delimiter may include optional spaces)," I don't know how the RFC agrees with wikipedia, but, it looks like spaces should be ignore when importing. However, the RFC [2], section 4 says, "... Spaces are considered part of a field and should not be ignored... " So, who is right?
