Description of the DIF file format used by Excel?

What is the structure of a DIF file and, more importantly, what is the meaning of different header and data fields in one? The Wikipedia article has enough information that I suspect will be an easy-to-use format that is richer than CSV. But I cannot find a good enough description of this format to generate it.

When I have this kind of problem, I usually head to Wotsit, here on the Table Files / Database Files section, and see if they have anything.



They have a Dif.zip file with a DIF.txt file inside which there is a short (164 lines) format description.
I cannot guarantee that the description is official / complete, but it might be a good start.
