</div></div>Well, then you have a good argument for keeping it as Record. But spreadsheets<br>
are tables of rows and columns, and a CSV file is a spreadsheet. Personally, I<br>
find the term record overly vague and wouldn't use it for much of anything -<br>
not to mention that it makes me think of the analog music device rather than<br>
anything else. So, I don't particularly like the name Record. I wouldn't use<br>
it in reference to a DB either. I'd use the term row there as well. But others<br>
may not agree with me, and if the RFC uses the term record, then that's a<br>
definite argument for using Record instead of Row.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1 for row... although I appreciate the RFC says record all over the place. That said though, upon reading it, I think that might be the worst RFC ever written ;)</div>
