> As discussed in IRC with danny_osl and wenzel, we need to decide how to implement object dumps/representations. The old way is to Email a comma separated value report to the user. We are thinking of new ways to do this. We had the following ideas
> ** Each object knows how to make its own CSV/XML ie $host->csv()
> ** The form knows how to make the CSV/XML for each object
> ** A module knows how to make the CSV/XML for *all* objects
> This brings up the following quesitons:
> * How should the reports be formatted
> ** Straight field dump or pretty representations
> * What will this be used for
> ** Reporting
> ** DB backup/restore
> Sorry to cut short but please add thoughts
