This seems to be the dominant usage at this point, but I think it's not the best possible answer.  I think the best answer would be to show *all* the indices of the first element.  So, if the first row is row 1, and the first element in that row has index 0, it would be "1,0".

I realize that this might break some tools, but it seems to me that providing more (useful) information is the more important consideration - and tools can be modified.
