I do a fair bit of work where I move data between LibreOffice, MySQL, Vertica, Google Docs, Hadoop, Python, and a few other systems. The formatting of TSV files is ad-hoc. Each system has little differences in how strings are escaped, and similar. In addition, there is no way to preserve metadata. I drafted a modest proposed spec for standardizing TSV files by standardizing types, and adding metadata, and was hoping to solicit feedback on that proposal: http://www.tsvx.org/

I suggest you take a look at https://www.w3.org/standards/techs/csv and maybe https://www.w3.org/community/csvw/ Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
