It all sounds good except I would really like to try generating s-expressions as well. I am convinced that the binary table thing is going to cause us future trouble, and the reason I am so convinced is that every binary table I've ever seen had troubles not long after it was disseminated as a standard.
You might be right. But it seems that it becomes harder and harder to boot a machine without ACPI and mptables. Until we have Linux and other OSes convinced of something better we might have to grin and bear it.
