I don't see this as a perfect solution, but CSV is not great either. A comma is super common in both text and numbers. Here in Europe we often use commas as decimal separator and use a semicolon as value separator.

As a result spreadsheets almost always fail to automatically parse a CSV.

I do like the idea of having a dedicated separator character, that would work right worldwide. And then just standardize the use of a dot as decimal separator in these files.
