Looks pretty machine readable to me? This is the consistent syntax to be used.

- jillesvangurp 7y agoWas expecting something like a yaml or json file to be a good standard for this. It's nearly 2020, we should not be improvising text file formats in standards anymore. .txt screams intended for humans.
- sho 7y agoYou're thinking too short term. .txt far predates, and will far outlast, any standard du jour. I bet you wouldn't be so gung ho about security.xml. I really don't see the issue. robots.txt works just fine, and this is simply following in its highly successful footsteps. What you suggest is change for change's sake.
