[development] minimizing views_default_views in a module

I'm working on a new drupal 6.x module (currently in sandbox awaiting review - http://drupal.org/sandbox/sdague/1072704) which exports it's data via views. When I implemented hook_views_default_views() I just used the export functionality on views for a few basic views to get things started. That works, but those are both very verbose, and don't implement any i18n. Is there a standard way of trimming down the default values in those views so this becomes a bit more sane and maintainable? Advice would be appreciated, -Sean -- Sean Dague Learn about the Universe with the sean at dague dot net Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association http://dague.net http://midhudsonastro.org
