I have a suggestion:
1) lot of the datafiles should have the ability to have set value fields
that need to be filled in as they are converted to entities.

and example is Product
the Datafile may not have the field chargeShipping which is default N
so to put in a Field with and attribute value which tells the datafile
import to just pass this thru but not read the datafile for this.
this way the xml output will have the field chargeShipping="N"
or
 productTypeId="FINISHED_GOOD" which really is not a default but should
be filled in during the import of the xml. The datafile usually does not
have such information in it.

Or did I miss something?
any suggestions before I make a patch?

I thought about putting in defaults in to the minilang new entity or and
EECAS but that takes a lot more than just working on the datafile
component.  I am not ready to take on such a task.
:D
