Hi Chrissy,

You can get something close with the 'list' feed -
http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/data/3.0/developers_guide.html#RetrievingListFeeds

The caveat is that your column names will be:

a) in the namespace "http://schemas.google.com/spreadsheets/2006/extended
b) converted into legal XML names according to
http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/data/3.0/reference.html#gsx_reference

<http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/data/3.0/reference.html#gsx_reference>As
regards conversion of names, you'll be pretty safe if your column headings
are valid XML element names.

However, Google don't currently specify how they redact column heading names
containing XML-unsafe characters other than spaces. Experimentation would
probably show that they are handled the same way as spaces though.

cheers,
David.
