because you don't always have the option of what schema your csv file has.

I think you'll find that most things in phpgw either walk you through a process 
or
behave as one would expect such a feature to.  So usualy the best way to 
"figure it
out" is to just try it, and if you manage to break it then it's a bug for you to
report and us to fix :)

For the addressbook guys, I thought the old "import contacts" option was going 
to go
away...
