It is not very useful, unfortunately.  Tacking random chunks of data
onto established file formats is not a good idea; a lot of programs
will break precisely because they are specifically expecting a certain
file format, and by adding chunks of data, you are changing the
format.

This specification looks like a semi-bad hack to annotate sequences of
ANSI terminal codes, but not much more.
