Current versions of Excel on Windows experience strange issues when importing the tab-separated data browser export files.

No problems with Excel on Mac, but Excel on Windows can behave similar to what's described on https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/excel-data-import-from-textcsv-is-incorrectly/c14fcb58-6698-45a7-a9d8-5beb9d997503, columns may be missing or without values.

Changing the comment at the start of the file to just this essential spreadsheet format hint circumvents import issues for Excel on Windows.
