Thanks @Paullys50.

I ended up writing a script to handle the process and posted an [example](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/mass-import-of-udt-tags-via-simple-csv-and-script-example/28439?u=tim.johnson).

The reason I like csv files so much is because of their simplicity. Each tag consists of a single line with any parameter values listed in subsequent columns according to a header. I’ll admit, I’m not an xml guru, but am familiar with it, and still I find it (for this purpose anyway) a bit ‘bulky’.
