There is no 'standard' CSV, so if you're going to do some programming, 
may I suggest you also write a very small CSV validator to check if a 
user's CSV is the type of CSV expected by your PoEdit importer (and 
perhaps with a helpful error message telling the user that his CSV file 
is no good, and why).

In fact, if you're going to write an importer, why not just let the 
module import a two column tab delimited text file (and give a warning 
if there were duplicate source strings, which happens in non-standard PO 
files).  You can't know what the CSV file will look like that your 
spreadsheet program spits out, but anyone can copy and paste two columns 
from the spreadsheet into a plaintext file.  But I'm just a user here, 
so don't take me too seriously :-)
