I spend some time working in a new draft for this MIME type taking into 
accounts comments from this list and others. In particular:
1. I removed the "text/comma-separated-values" type and only left one 
MIME type "text/csv".
2. I changed the definitions to follow the CRLF convention for the 
"text" type for linebreaks.
3. Significant changes in ABNF grammar with a lot of help from Dave Crocker.
4. The CSV format has been moved to the normative part of the document.

I would appreciate comments and suggestions on the new draft. Until it 
posts into the IETF repository, it can be found here:
