2. What’s the name of the software applications that you use that requires double quotes?

Text qualifiers can accordingly be configured for data exports and imports.

Examples: * LibreOffice Calc * Microsoft Excel

3. What would be the determining factor for using double quotes?

A specific data type indication should occasionally be applied for texts.

Is it the existence of whitespaces (spaces, tabs, nl, cr, …?),

This can happen.

I observed that content from different XML elements can be joined by using space characters.

or would all non-numeric values need to be quoted?

Probably, not.

I am unsure under which circumstances additional delimiters would be requested for more fine-grained data type distinctions.
