I beg to differ - I actually like yours (in a positive sense) since:

- it is name=value pairs
- some of the names are actually descriptive (not all, for sure....)
- they had a chance to screw up in a few places, like just say
'succeeded' and not 'success=yes' which I like more
- it has plenty of info, for sure

Aesthetically, it does suck donkey, but not really as much as I hoped to see :-)
