== Content Clarification == 

 Just reading the discussion on the talk page shows that this article requires more clarity and explanation. The fact that someone even asked why the values are quoted, which is valid question considering the article content alone, suggests that there is a major gap in the content. The concept of delimited and separated values, used independently (not here, obviously) or in combination are relatively simple concepts. This article, however, does not explain clearly enough what a DSV is. That there is confusion between DSVs and CSVs would seem to indicate that the article content should distinguish how a DSV is different from potential interpretations, such as CSV. 

 Even the naming is confusing. There may be a common usage standard for "delimiter-separated", but I'd have to say it's incorrect. "Comma-separated" is correct because the separator is the comma. Because CSV's aren't always separated by commas, sometimes they're called character-separated values (although commas are by far the most common, at least in my experience). But these DSV files, as I understand it (and, again, this is not clear in the article), are delimited and separated; delimited/delimitor is not qualifying or modifying separated/separator. There is no need for a hyphen here, and I would go as far as to say it is incorrect, grammatically speaking. But, as I said, there may be some common usage here of which I'm not aware. 

 But I digressed. Getting back to the main point, this article seems to be written by, and reviewed by, those who already know the content. WikiP articles should include a bit more content for the lay person, as well as distinguish content from common, potential confusion (e.g. DSV vs. CSV). 

 I would also suggest that some of this discussion is not consistent with WikiP's guidelines: 
 * "...in an atmosphere of mutual respect and cooperation. Don't be afraid to contribute as you are encouraged to be bold in editing in a fair and accurate manner." 
 * "While discussing matters, it is very important that you conduct yourself with civility and assume good faith on the part of others." 

 Just my thoughts.
