As Andrew pointed out in another reply in this thread, the -format
switch is support to provide that but it fails to provide a consistent
(value - data) pair per line.
Currently that output looks like:

which re-uses a similar logic for the per volume output as the
non-format. I do notice a bug in the above output in that it lists the
same block twice.
