Countries that use the point as a decimal mark (US, UK, China, India, etc.) use this format as csv:

```
value,value,value

```

Countries that use the comma as a decimal mark (Germany, Russia, France, South America, etc.) use this format as csv:

```
value;value;value

```

I've had some problems with (IIRC) MS Office 2003 in this regard.

So the question:

Is there a format that is as simple to create and parse as csv that does not suffer from an incompatibility between major world regions and can be read by MS Office and Libreoffice?

Edit:

I noticed that Libreoffice assues tabs as seperators when importing from csv:

```
value<tab>value<tab>value

```

Is that format usable in MS Office for US and Europe?
