For a serialisation format, I like the Ts, because it sometimes makes munging data with cut and awk and so on slightly easier. I'd agree it's not a great display format, but then I don't think it's supposed to be.

Right, and it's distinctive, which sneaks type information past all the gremlins in your pipeline determined to strip away any and every bit of context they find in your data. On the whole I think it's probably for the best, but it is ugly.
