And this is a perfectly reasonable solution. However, trying to use tabs as a delimiter isn't; that is what WebDNA uses as it's own delimiter so you don't have that available for subfields. Have you considered the pipe character "|" which is not normally present in any reasonable set of characters used for data input purposes? Your problem is not your design, but your implementation, AFAICT.
