While we're at it, can someone (Eric) please put their foot down and
decree that the next repository format (i.e. darcs-3) will use a
standard markup for markup (i.e. XML) instead of adding bits on ad-hoc?

I mean, for example, we currently have an "Ignore-This:" field that sure
as hell looks like it's part of the patch description, because that was
the only way to add it without breaking backwards compatibility.  But it
just looks silly, and it makes more work for people trying to just read
the repo a little without resorting to libHSDarcs (e.g. Python scripters).

I realize you're not a fan of "darcs send", but the user manual
describes such a workflow using signed patch bundles via email, applied
automatically with procmail.
