Well I couldn't came with a better trade-off. The actual output does not fit in 80 columns as soon as a FQDN is a bit long and adding the timer information does not help. So instead of reinventing an output, I tried to match what ndp does. At least with this diff the "-n" flag is coherent with what route(8), netsat(8) and ndp(8) do. So I hear what you say but I don't see which output can address the points you raised. So unless somebody has a better idea, I'd like to commit this so that we can get use to the new output 8)
