This construct does not come from a natural language. It's rather computer
programming style, like class::subclass (see maxwidth:physical=*, name:en=*
etc.), and it's also in spirit of mathematical notation (functions,
subscripts), like diameter(crown).

What would people use? radius=valueunit ?

diameter crown also doesn't appear to be vernacular English,
unfortunately. Crown diameter or crown spread seem to be more widely
used. For example, see

No adjectives here... Crown diameter is a compound noun composed of
two nouns.
More likely a germanic language where the juxtaposition implies a
genitive - diameter crown -- diameter of the crown. Could certainly
be Dutch or German - it's a very common construct.

True. English usually has an adjective followed by a noun. I would guess
that diameter crown was probably written by someone more familiar with a
language where adjectives follow nouns.
