I created an account myself and gave it a try. You -can- export in either an excel sheet or csv through: Surveys > [name of survey] > Analyze > Export.

As said, the same is possible at the Survs thing, even line continuations work I think. Below is an sample export of a quick survey I created and filled in myself. Looks pretty parsable to me :).

"Git Survey 2008" "Viewed",1 "Incomplete",0 "Complete",1

"Respondent Number","Date","Time","What country are you in?","What is the language you prefer git to communicate with you?","How old are you (in years)?","How did you hear about Git?","How are you doing?" "","","","","","","","" 2,"Jul 24, 08","11:06:56","Netherlands","Dutch","19","News site or magazine, Blog entry, IRC, Mailing list","Very well, thank you very much. I was hoping you would ask that question as I was trying to tell someone that this survs thing is quite nice, actually. The only downside so far is that you cannot prepare a survey offline and then upload it to the site. I'm sure that won't be a problem though."

Agreed, it would be nice to have something like this. Especially when adding a bunch of options. It doesn't seem that Survs allows you to create the Surveys offline, but if it doesn'tw ork at survey.net.nz anyway...?
