Sounds fun Paul;
In GeoTools we have been using an "example" text format that is human
readable for much the same purpose .. based on a good old fashioned Java
properties file. If you come up with something you like I don't mind
supporting it.
Here is an example:
> _=id:Integer,name:String,geom:Point
> fid1=1|jody|POINT(0 0)
> fid2=2|brent|POINT(10 10)
> fid3=3|dave|POINT(20 20)
> fid4=4|justin|POINT(30 30)

Cheers,
Jody
