Prosper I don't think that we will ever hope to have the CSV export as
complete as the xml/json variant.  I see two reasons:

1.  the flat csv data model makes it more work to map to complex objects
2.  the xml and json mappings are bound in the source code (using
annotations) whereas csv rendering always has to be done a s separate
process.

So it is unreasonable to expect we will have a csv expression of our entire
data model in the same way we have with xml/json.   Pieces may be added
over time to satisfy particular use cases.

Of course your original question about importing/exporting attributes is
different. Can you elaborate more on that?
