There's a parallel universe where the right person on the Google Chrome Network Tab team (or, earlier, the Firebug team) foresaw this a decade ago, and resolved: "we will make it possible for any developer to plug in a custom binary parser in the Network Tab, able to access setup files from the project at hand, and do so in a safe and sandboxed way that's easy to deploy to colleagues." Then a billion binary formats would have bloomed. But that's not the world we ended up in.
