Definitely. This also gives me headache. It would be nice if there where 
a common standard for machine-readable output of cli tools. Kind of 
simple out-of-process components. I'm currently using

[Sections]
key=value pairs
and raw-data with a user-defined escape character.

Maybe something like XML would be more appropriate. But i don't know if 
you can use CDATA sections for binary data. Perhaps switching between 
XML and Raw-data...
