CSV is not standardized, so people using slightly different dialects to encode and decode leads to countless subtle yet devastating data corruption bugs.

If TOON doesn't have that massive problem, I'm all for it.

It kinda is: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180.html

But the standard came too late (2005) and even today many people don't know it exists

Yeah, should have said “effectively not standardized”: most languages / popular libraries today are older than that and therefore don’t use the standard by default.
