Well I personally do not mind the bind-8 config file format too much I
don't think it is as clearly understandable as using a Samba/ini type of
format. The nesting could actually cause problems for some less programming
inclined people. And a '=' is more commonly understood than ':' or no
deliminator at all. Same goes for a '\n' over a ';'.
I agree however that any kind of standard format would be good.
