|---|---|---|
| port | — | (file-based) |
| identifiers | Attribute values in quotes; entities for reserved characters | — |
| row limit | — | (driver dependent) |
| dates | Whatever text was rendered | Date (D), DateTime (T) |
| long text | — | Memo (M) |
| binary | data: URIs inside src attributes | General (G) |
| separator | Tags, not delimiters | — |
