"Name, Purpose, Author, Version" -- succinct and reassuringly uniform. One thing I recently realised is that RISC OS file specifications were very close to URL format. Had they used forward slash (and not dot) as a directory separator they would have been almost there! :-) (and interacted so much easier with the outside world) Imagine having to write C/C++ where .cpp and .hpp files lived in separate directories! Ah, early 90s RISC OS.
