Seems like the way forward for Hare.

I was hoping to coordinate a formal definition of the current informal
format, defined apart from the file as a separate document, perhaps even
an RFC, or even for a newer format.

However, the file format seems sensible and stable enough currently,
and I am satisfied with moving on.


Again, thank you all
