Ah, got it.  How about:

2.10 dladm parseable output

   The format of parseable output of dladm show-* subcommands is
   currently not consistent (different subcommands have a different
   output formats.)  A preferred output format is currently used by
   show-wifi, scan-wifi, show-secobj, and show-linkprop.  In order to
   bring uniformity across all show-* parseable output, this case makes
   the other show-* subcommands' parseable output conform to that format.
   It is:

   <key>="<value>" [<key>="<value>" ...]

   Every value is explicitly quoted to better support values with
   embedded space characters, and preceded by a <key>= identifier string.
