+1 on punt from me.

Kitchen sink - we'll end up making the dialect's too specific for the user
to be able to choose ("do I have Excel2000 with SP2 applied, or...").
I bet it even varies by region of the world (for example, the Chinese
edition probably has different limits).

I have a sneeking suspician that Excels CSV parsing code is resonably
stable - they're probably not game to make changes now that it mostly
works. We might find that dialect="excel" is good enough.
