The advantage is that a list of field names is more flexible than a
single string listing the fields. This advantage matters if you don't
need all of the fields, or you need to have them in multiple formats. I
would only let you change this as you suggest if you can prove that all
uses of the field list objects only need the fields in a single format,
and they need all of them, always.
