I noted an inconsistency: first you say that the RECORD file uses the excel dialect, but at the end of the same section you say it uses the default csv settings. Sounds like you need to delete one or the other.
If I remember correctly, the default csv dialect is just the Excel dialect, so this would be two different ways of saying the same things.
Right, but Guido's point is, decide which one is the is the definition and stick to talking about it in that form.
Since I think it more likely that Excel will change than cvs default, I think the latter should be used.
