May I enter a request for it?

I also suggest that CSV reader accepts the following formats as well:

8.1;0.25;First point
49.2;1.1;Second point
47.5;0.75;Third point

Excel writes like this by default and many programs use it as well. If 
you want the traditional format -- the only one accepted by OGR -- you 
need to use the more advanced CSV export in openoffice calc.



Kind regards,
Tim
