Instead of the comma-separated suggestions mentioned in other posts, I'd
recommend using a tab-separated file so that you don't have any confusion
for entries such as addresses that might look like "Seattle, WA". The
other reason is that it's *really* hard to enter a TAB in an HTML form so
it's just nicer.
The other thing to look out for is TEXTAREA inputs where people have
entered newlines. You'll need to convert those back to spaces before
exporting otherwise the file won't be one record per line.
