OK. I derail.
I need no other justification beyond:

As Tim has suggested, e-mail is a terrible tool for these discussions.
BTW: I said *either* this is a "one-off" *or* it needs significant
discussion. My suggestion was that rather than polishing this
particular piece of teak, the project team would probably do themselves
the best by just making this a "one off" and not trying to pass their
particular brand of Kool-Aid.
We all have priorities.
Is making this a precedent or solution to world hunger the best use of
our time?
I suspect we can all find a bug to work on with a higher priority than
designing a general solution for "parsable output", particularly when
have a lot of precedence that "Parsable output is generally bad. Only
use it when you must".
