The _intended_ format of RFC 3864 is apparently like what you
find in RFC 4021, the published registry in...

http://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/perm-headers.html

...is rather minimalistic.

For stuff that's in essence a collection of <name> ":" <value>
fields in registration templates (= a "record" of record-jar)
XML is not the ideal choice.  Admittedly for the few registries
I care about XML would be better than the status quo.  Minus
LTRU, that's fine.
