Re: while we are rechartering.... (csv)

I am not sure my last mail got through since our domain has changed
from comlab.ox.ac.uk to cs.ox.ac.uk and the list does not like that,
so I trz again using the old mail address:

I agree that CSV/TSV is a useful format, but I am also worried that we
are already much over the original schedule and there are always
little issues that will take more time than anticipated. Making it
time permitting for now and aim for a note plus the possibility of
upgrading it to REC later is ok with me.

Testing is one such cost but we have to do JSON results testing so adding a parallel .csv and .tsv versions would be enough and there are already tools to produce the formats.
