I guess it’s not common knowledge, but the CSV format can actually 
handle line breaks just fine. From the specification (RFC 4180):

    6.  Fields containing line breaks (CRLF), double quotes, and commas
        should be enclosed in double-quotes.  For example:

        "aaa","b CRLF
        bb","ccc" CRLF
        zzz,yyy,xxx

So in CSV, each physical line does not necessarily correspond to one 
row. Any conformant CSV parser will be able to handle this. (And even 
some bad ones, like MS Excel, seems to handle it correctly.)
