Why isn’t there a decent file format for tabular data?
One major limitation with quoted values that can this contain record delimiters (as opposed to escaping the delimiters) is that it stops systems from being able to load records in parallel.
Some systems ban embedded record delimiters, for this reason.
Btw, I’ve (previously) included at least one of your essays in “awesome csv” list at GitHub. https://github.com/secretGeek/AwesomeCSV#essays
There’s a few specs mentioned there too — is one of those the spec you worked on?

Why isn’t there a decent file format for tabular data?
I've pondered exactly that. After a previous HN thread, I tried my hand at writing a specification that was minimal as possible but followed HTML5. For example many end tags are optional like `tr` and `td` end tags. Though I pulled in RDFa for richer data types.
Here's the GitHub repo for what I like to call HSV5: https://github.com/elcritch/hsv5/blob/main/README.md ;)
And an example of the smallest _valid_ HTML table format:

JSON5 Data Interchange Format
Somewhat related, I was toying around with what an html5 based csv alternative could look like and called it hsv5 partly as a play on json5 and hdf5.
