I don't want to specify "the format is the one that the csv module
produces". Instead, I could accept an explicit specification of what
the CSV module produces, indicating that mirrors are encouraged to use
the CSV module to actually produce the data. However, if somebody
prefers to implement the mirror in Perl, then this should still be
possible.

So what would the specification then read like?

Martin
