I'm in favor of using object name expressions instead when possible but the
 current nameing mechanism permits more than one name per object, or even none.
 the format of the textdump is not a big concern to me right now, mostly
 because I have friends who are perl experts and can do anything do the
 textdump far easier than they or I can change the server.

If you can find a way to do both or leave it up to the db/user, I'm all for it.
