Export as CSV issues

Description
There seem to be several issues here, but I'll dump them all here as I'm not sure what the desired behaviour is. I have a metadata template I want to export. I do this this by checking next to it and going to "actions on selection" > Export (CSV). I am doing this as Admin and template owner.
a) The first time I did this I got a blank page, as well as several attempts afterward.
Eventually I get back a page that only contains: "schema id title abstract keyword LegalConstraints iso19139 111 Warwickshire County Council Template World gmd:accessConstraints :###### "
b) As you can see, there's a distinct lack of content there.
c) It's not looking very comma delimited.
d) The file when I go to save it is called .search rather than .csv (from the URL http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/en/csv.search I guess).
e) The mimetype is text/plain. it should be text/csv I think (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt)

(c) - Personally I think the default delimiter should be a comma. (d) FF 3.6.6 and Opera call it "csv.search". IE calls it csv_search.$extension (dependent on what type you tell IE you want it saved as, i.e. txt, mht).

Comma has not been used has the default one because it's a more frequent character in metadata content than tabs, which only appears if user copy/paste content into the editor.
More work is required to have a fully CSV compliant output (see enhancement #285).
In order to override default formatting, advanced user could still create their own template with mode="csv" in the metadata-{schema}.xsl matching the root element in order to create a one level tree structure. See csv.search.xsl.
