R. David Murray added the comment:
Well, it does say that QUOTE_MINIMAL is the default for the dialect 'quoting' attribute. What it doesn't say is that the default dialect (excel) is exactly the documented default values for all the dialect parameters. (Although having said that, I'm not 100% sure it is true, I didn't fully check the correspondence).
