How should my parser treat a delimiter character at end-of-record. Ignore it or create an empty field?

Clause 5 of the spec covers this:

The last field in a record MUST NOT be followed by a comma. This results in a
additional field with nothing in it.

CSV:
aaa,bbb,ccc,¬
xxx,yyy,zzz,¬
JSON:
[ ["aaa", "bbb", "ccc", ""],
  ["xxx", "yyy", "zzz", ""] ]

I'm happy to discus further if you have any more questions :)
