It actually sounded like a pretty good idea to me. The current CSV
format is already overly bulky/verbose, because it includes absolutely
everything anybody ever wanted before now. Allowing people to select
what they actually need, and thereby get rid of some of the overhead
they're currently paying, would be a good thing.
