Yeah, I guess that kinda works if you're the one generating them. But you must not have too many generalised strings -- like a name field containing "Smith, John" or a book title like "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"? When I deal with CSV's those kind of things are quote common. I actually prefer TSV because you can (more easily) process them with standard AWK.
What do you output for a string field with ',' in it? Just strip the commas, or replace it with something else?
