Wallet Labels Export Format

[craigraw]

This was first proposed on the mailing list on Aug 24 as a common format for the export and import of wallet labels.

Following discussion there, on this bitcointalk post and via private channels with other wallet developers, the original proposal was simplified, and changed to use JSON instead of CSV. The revised proposal has been well received, and I believe is ready for consideration as a BIP.

I get that this is closed, but am new to commenting on bips so I'll add my comment here.

An importing wallet may ignore records it does not store, and truncate labels if necessary.

I think adding truncation as a standard is dangerous. Context can be lost, especially if context was at the end. Also different apps may have further restrictions such as character limitations (no emoticon support or Chinese character support)

Is it not more appropriate to warn that care should be taken if truncating or modifying the label and/or a warning should be given if any modifications will be made. UI is up to the app.

Something like that?
