Actually, an interesting thing to do with this option would be to take
a particular period of time and download the data in _ALL_ of the
formats available.
A "researcher" might then use diff to see what the differences between
the formats they propose are.
If there are _interesting_ differences, this could be useful to know
about.
I'd hope that the QIF import code could cope acceptably with all of the
variations; finding the differences could help pinpoint any problems
with that "hope."
