key\tvalue\tvalue is pretty much what the telnet version does, except that \t is \002, so if that's kept the same a crawler should be able to use the same code with two interfaces.

I don't see the need for two separators; might as well use \t to separate everything, and say that the first element must be the field name.
(Actually, a crawler would use the same code with just one interface, with the separator parametrized…)

I'm leaning toward this as well…I think it just makes sense. Just wanted to get some more opinions before changing it. IIRC Zeno is doing the Smaug plaintext stuff…right? Whoever is doing it, are you cool with \t?
Ok…which will be supported then?
Do folks have a preference?
