That is exactly my argument. I'll freely admit that it's not a strong
point, but I find the claim that the inconsistent formats will be easier
to parse to be a much weaker argument, in the absence of any attempt to
make them *actually* easier to parse (like really truly one line).

That would shore up your position considerably. It needs a little
thought as to whether this would induce any confusion, and whether we
really care if so.
