You did not read this carefully.  You are quoting the the
definition of **DSV**.  The full quote is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delimiter-separated_values
"Any character or sequence of characters may be used to
separate the values, but the most common delimiters are the
comma, tab, and colon.[1] [2] The vertical bar (also
referred to as pipe) and space are also sometimes used.[1]
In a comma-separated values (CSV) file the data items are
separated using commas as a delimiter, while in
a tab-separated values (TSV) file, the data items are
separated using tabs as a delimiter."
