That's great news! Not having cell data available offline was the one thing 
that kept me from contributing.

However, when I look at the export files, I see that the field names do not 
agree with the documentation - which begs the question as to which names I 
should consider to be "official". 

Only the cell identification fields are concerned. The export files have:

radio, mcc, mnc, lac, cid, psc, lon, lat, ...

whereas the documentation states the field names are

radio, mcc, net, area, cell, unit, lon, lat, ...

The documentation available from OpenCellID agrees with Mozilla's export format 
rather than the Mozilla documentation. (I haven't looked at exports from 
OpenCellID yet.)

It has been pointed out in a different thread that the fields are equivalent, 
despite their names, and since the position is fixed, names don't matter much 
in a CSV file.

However, I assume that we will soon be seeing a bunch of use cases taking the 
CSV and converting it into a database table. In this case, names will matter, 
and if the DB is going to be shared between applications, uniformity is 
desirable. I would suggest updating either the docs or the export format to 
agree with the other.
