That makes some sense. But what about
some other format that might not be so
forgiving? Again, just a thought. Maybe
open with Notepad ++.

The problem with this is that Excel tries to preserve formatting when
it saves to CSV, to the point where the underlying, stored value
within Excel is not necessarily what is going to be saved to the CSV.
For example, if you have an Excel cell whose true value is 7, but
formatted as a percentage, so that it looks like "700%", then what
will get saved to the CSV file is actually "700%". This is not good
for diagnostics.
