Landon,

Sorry to be a pain on this, but I think these abbreviations might be 
going a bit too far in the other direction.

The style in the CSMap CSV files seems like a good compromise between 
concision and clarity to me.

Example:

SeqNbr,EpsgNbr,EsriNbr,OracleNbr,MapInfoNbr,OemNbr,Oracle9Nbr,CsMapNbr,CsMapName,CtmxName,AdskName,EpsgName,EsriName,OracleName,MapInfoName,OemName,GeoToolsName,OcrName,OgcName,GeoTiffName,Oracle9Name,LegacyName,CnvrsnName,CnvrsnComment,MaintenanceComment,Quality,UserFlag,RfcnQualifier

(Avoiding spaces in the field names seems like a good idea, too. Not all 
systems can handle that).

I'll take a crack at suggesting a list of field names sometime today.

Martin
