I&#39;m working on a new drupal 6.x module (currently in sandbox awaiting review - <a href="http://drupal.org/sandbox/sdague/1072704" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/sandbox/sdague/1072704</a>) which exports it&#39;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.<br>

<br>
That works, but those are both very verbose, and don&#39;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?<br>
<br>
Advice would be appreciated,<br>
