This was on purpose. A few paragraphs above, it says:
 Every event is a text line, which consists of whitespace separated words.

So, the data inside the Setup packet is organized in fields, but
the representation of the packet is formatted in words.

I would love to have leading zeroes kept in uuuuuu, for the reason that
when considered by itself, it's plainly a wrong value. Quoting:

Is this approximately 632.77 seconds mark? No, it's 632.07 seconds.

Maybe not for format per se...

What I would really like to see is some sort of parsing of known
things inside the data stream, which is completely opaque for usbmon.
This includes names of known control messages and status replies from
hubs and devices, SCSI commands and replies for storage. This is the
biggest thing USBMon needs (right after I teach it to load and save
the usbmon traces in text file).

The tcpdump supports that, and it's quite useful. E.g. in case of
NFS, CIFS, and even AFS, it shows requests made to the storage server.
