We should be better than that but how can you make something human readable if
it isn't written in any human language? Translating the syntax would work
except for the fact that contributors would not be able to copy and adapt
metadata from one language to another. That is, unless we allowed all
translated syntax to be in one "basement" - but then we are back to the
unreadable aspect.
