On the delimiter, I have a point to raise.

In the new format, delimiter is space(s) ? What if a new column got 
added in future
which has something like "new value" as a value.. then parsing would be 
difficult.
Current example shown doesn't have any value that has space inside it.. 
but wondering if it had, would it still be parse friendly ?
