But in fact it is correct mid/mif dataset and MapInfo can read it. I found an old ticket (#954) in which it is offered to skip tabulation symbols at the beginning of lines in the MIF file (for now tab symbols are skiped in [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/tags/1.10.1/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/mitab/mitab_middatafile.cpp#L218 mitab_middatafile.cpp:218]). But the symbol of tabulation is a default delimiter of fields ( we can it see at [http://resource.mapinfo.com/static/files/document/1074660800077/interchange_file.pdf MapInfo ® Data Interchange Format] pp 677&693 ) and if we skip it, we won't read empty fields. And in this case feature will be corrupted. " defect closed normal 2.0.2 OGR_SF unspecified normal fixed mitab Daniel Morissette
