Like I said upthread, it might be reasonable to assume that the format is fairly stable, but without a formal definition there is no way of being certain. Formats without specifications that become popular tend to diverge, Markdown being the textbook example. Being a common format in ingestion tools makes it interesting though, but I wonder if those tools aren't alreday supporting CSV such that adding logfmt won't move the compatibility markers much? -- Daniel Gustafsson
