IMHO, particularly for things like /proc/cpuinfo that aren't really used
by programs, it would be nice to keep these looking neat for human
consumption (ie have the fields line up). You can probably do this
without causing too much pain for machines as well.
If you only have one field per line, you can make your format
<tag> ":" <arbitrary whitespace> <value>
so
arch: i386
cpu: 586
