I'm not arguing for an ad-hoc protocol, I'm perfectly fine with us
standardizing the format, either traditional unix ("something-separated")
or XML and then have a generic routine to format it in userland.

I'm sort of partial to simple whitespace format with headerlines 
starting with '#', it just looks right for some reason... :-)

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
