Data provider dialog
The Data provider dialog needs another look at the labels and the dropdown list
Go to "Data Provider" in Data tab of the tabbed UI.
Label "Data Provider":
---------------------
This is actually the source data type, so the label should be "Data provider
data type" or "Data Provider Type". The current accepted values are CSV, XML,
HTML, SQL.
Data Provider dropdown list contents:
-------------------------------------
The current contents list internal namespaces (?) such as
org.libreoffice.calc.csv
org.libreoffice.calc.xml
org.libreoffice.calc.sql
org.libreoffice.calc.html
While people can guess the type, it is better to display the right name as
"CSV, XML, HTML, SQL", or better "CSV (Comma Separated Values)", "XML
(Extensive Markup Language)" and so on.
Label "Id/Xpath":
-----------------
Confusing for newcomers. Id means "table identifyer" in the provider file/URL
and Xpath should be "XPath" to follow W3C. I suggest "Table Identifyer or
XPath".
