I am really not set on a file format, but my obvious question is if we
don't wanna better use keyfile or XML based database since that are the
file formats we are currently using inside oFono. We have not used CSV
at all so far.
My vote would go for keyfile or XML since it is a bit more self
explanatory with its fields. And the order of values doesn't really
matter.
The one thing that I don't like about CSV is that you have no real
flexibility with its format. Especially coming think about that we might
have to extend this additional information for IMS or operator specific
behavior.

Marcel
