Is there any other way to do it? It seems that we have too many attributes already. Maybe we should consider adopting a struts-tiles like approach and define the tables in an xml format or something...or at least come up with a way to specify the output for each type. Adding media solves one part of the problem in terms of which columns to display, but what about other things like table formatting, headers or footers?
In the past, I used the 'property' attribute when dumping a CSV over using the column body, since column bodies can contain HTML. In a CSV, you probably don't ever want to see the HTML, but if you were dumping to Excel, which does handle links correctly, you may or may not want to include the html. So it seems, that you'd also need another attribute that for each output format determines whether you want to use the column body JSP or not.
