Tab delimited, comma delimited, pipe delimited, semicolon delimited, any 
char can delimit text tables and there are thousands of different text 
table formats out there, not counting those separated by fixed 
positions. Calc is supposed to handle all of them as far as they provide 
some reasonable pattern. Comma as column delimiter is inapropriate when 
decimals have commas.
Any file can have any file name extension (even under Windows). 
LibreOffice can open or link any plain text file with any (or none) file 
name extension using Writer or Calc as the appropriate component.
