Hello, I'm the original author of CSV 1.1. There are no problems :-). You're making up things / problems. Nowhere says it that the header row is removed. You CANNOT auto-detect a header, you have to tell your parser (see the csvreader library as an example - https://github.com/csv11/csvreader - from my humble self.) if you have a header or not (it's optional). If Spaces matter! but them in quotes. By default you don't need quotes (and, thus, discouraged). > You haven't solved the problem of describing > what the columns are That is solved / done by a schema with a (tabular) datapackage, see https://github.com/csv11/csvpack as a real-world example how that works in practice or use csvrecord, see https://github.com/csv11/csvrecord
