If Undark decodes the metadata, it might be more useful to create a new
database instead of a CSV file.  The new database would be a mirror of
the input, except that its tables would hold deleted rows (or both
deleted and extant, with a column signifying which).  

That way no information is lost, re-insertion is simple, and
representation questions are mooted.
