• Person name formatting style
• date/time formatting?

dataset.formatted_lines() function provides functionality for this issue, but needs
documentation and testing.

Merging issue 29 into this one, as it involves output formatting:
"Attribute class str() display usually truncates large items. But if
multi-valued (a list) then len(value) can be small (the number of items in
the list) but the printed list very large. Saw this in Senographe file with
LUTs.
Need to check the overall length of the output in case of lists."

Another thought: perhaps contexts (python >2.5 I think) might be a useful way to configure printing, as is done in the Decimal module (but hopefully not so unwieldy as that).

Issue 29 has been merged into this issue.

Closing this old issue. I think sufficient formatting is available in Dataset.formatted_lines().
