2 sounds best to me; occasionally this list is useful when I am writing
scripts (and when that happens the column names are helpful), but I
don't think they are a good thing most of the time.<br>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2">As a Spreadsheet output format, the
default template for list/list.csv.tmpl uses the database column names,
which even for the default Bugzilla install, and most likely all
Bugzilla's out there, doesn't match the adapted field descriptions.
Max & Frédéric suggested I ask developers@ for a preference.</font></p>
<br>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">We have 4 options:</font>
<br>
<font face="Arial" size="2">1) Leave it. (if people reading the csv
output don't know what short_desc or short_short_desc is, oh well.)</font>
</p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">2) Append a param to the string,
&machine=1, to revert to the column names, otherwise display the
descriptions</font>
</p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">3) Append a param to the string,
&spreadsheet=1, to provide pretty column descriptions, otherwise
display the column names. This requires a change to
list/list.html.tmpl as well as list/list.csv.tmpl.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">4) Change it to descriptions only. If
an install needs the column headers, they can change their own
list.csv.tmpl.</font>
