Headers:
Defined class: 2 columns: name; or curie.
Named by var: 2 columns per var - name; or curie
String list vars: delimiter should be '|' NOT ','
Override columns:
For name: New column or re-use defined class label column.
Decision: add column: "override label". If filled out, over-rides auto-generated name.
Def: New column
TODO: Add check to prevent re-use of def column name in var.

@cmungall @balhoff : A first attempt at a spec using https://www.w3.org/TR/tabular-metadata/ :

Comments please.
One question not addressed: How do we associate spreadsheets with specific patterns. Would a naming convention be too lightweight? Or should we have additional mapping files / some way of embedding this as metadata? With that we could specify a curies too.
Couple of other questions:
One other potential issue, should the type of the ID field be
https://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#anyURI
(i.e. does this cover curies?)
Re: the type of the ID field, if you want CURIEs then I think it's more like what they call CURIEorIRI here: https://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-core/#dfn-curieoriri
