Doesn't make much sense to me. I mean, it doesn't look too bad until you get to
the quoted text part and have to escape quotes using a CSV-style double-quote
escape instead of the Markdown-style backslash. Also, quoting the whole value
is required in CSV anytime you have a comma in one of your cell which isn't a
rare occurrence.
I think PSV (pipe-separated-value) is better because you're much less likely to
have pipes in your text. And also it's better to reuse our current escape
mechanism in the unlikely event you have pipes in your cells. And that brings
us back to what everyone is already using for tables in Markdown, which aren't
harder to maintain if you don't care about making the text form pretty.
This is also a perfectly valid Markdown Extra table:
Year|Make|Model
----|----|-----
1997|Ford|E350
1999|Chevy|Venture "Extended Edition"
1999|Chevy|Venture "Extended Edition"
1996|Jeep|Grand Cherokee
