The reson why the xml header is there in the csv export is that the csv
export is done via a xslt style sheet, the same path as the uddf export
is done.


The way to solve this would be to separate the transformation from the
writing to file and ex. return a membuffer from export_dives_xslt, let
the calling function who knows that its actually csv strip the xml
header and call a membuffer to file dumper.


xmlDocDumpMemory looks like a good candidate to write to a membuffer.
