Yes, except it's easy to debug a csv problem because it's generally text in some encoding you can hopefully identify without looking at specific byte offsets in a hex editor: http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/Tape_Archive#Identification http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/Tape_Archive#Identif...
In fact, one of the biggest questions I've still yet to answer is whether Docker or OCI have ever clarified just which TAR format must be followed? As far as I can tell, it's a mix of "whatever library X supports"? https://www.cyphar.com/blog/post/20190121-ociv2-images-i-tar https://www.cyphar.com/blog/post/20190121-ociv2-images-i-tar for example.
I'm not sure I want a more complicated format, but I do wish somebody would pick a new file extension for their next use of tar so we could clearly differentiate one tar format from another the next time someone builds on top of simple tar files for their binary distribution, etc.
