I'd like to see both outcomes, actually: a way to describe as many as
possible of the existing data sets so that they can be parsed, and a
"best practices" recommendation for how to publish tabular data as
strictly as possible.

If you had to choose one, though, defining a simple-to-publish and
simple-to-parse standard seems like the most important outcome (tools
that support it can then do so easily, and choose whether they want to
support looser formats as well).
