If any CSV parser complains about the perfectly valid data in this example, I would definitely say it is poorly implemented, because it does not comply to the RFC. I took a glance at the mail thread and I could not find a hint where exactly you are having trouble with the quotes missing apart from saying that they are missing - is this a piece of software that cannot handle CSV properly? If so, I would definitely switch my parser.

My opinion of these results is that they are correct - they meet my expectations.
I find this view interesting.
Do you feel like these results are missing something?
Yes.
If so, what specifically?
I am missing text quoting for the fields “ID”, “T1”, “T2” and “T4”.
Is there something in the documentation that could change to make things more explicit or provide better clarity?
I got such an impression.
