Hmm.  I think that menu is likely to be used by standard users as well as 
developers.  If I wanted to get a shapefile output, I would need to navigate 
this menu and I would only find SHAPE-ZIP, which someone may not know is a 
zipped shapefile.  Okay maybe not the best example, but I still think it should 
be user facing if at all possible.  (I know it's easy for me to say this since 
I won't be the one coding it!)

I can file a JIRA for this, and Those Who Implement can decide whether to fix 
or ignore?

Thanks,
