*Which* netlist format? They tend to be either: 1. Simple and specialized. 2. Complex and impenetrable. Syndrome (2) is often accompanied by such a fog of hype and obfuscation that it's nearly impossible to figure out anything specific about what the format is or can *really* accomplish. On the other hand, we already have in gEDA a simple, flexible, concrete, well-documented format for graphics, attributes, and netlist information: the schematic format. It can even represent pure netlists without actual graphics. Why not identify limitations of that format and enhance it?
