Description
Since TimelineJS 3.8.0, we now have a CSV parser available, so that it's not a long stretch to instantiate a timeline using a URL to a CSV file instead of Google Sheets or JSON.
Opening this as a placeholder for discussion and tracking. This work is not on our roadmap right now, but we'd try to support community members interested in developing and contributing a PR.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the CSV parser introduced in TimelineJS 3.8.0 and the existing configuration paths for Google Sheets and JSON. Define the CSV URL configuration and confirm that a timeline can be instantiated from it without disrupting the existing input modes.
