How about neither?  Why not just write it to a program (any program can
be specified) in an EASY TO USE FORMAT (perhaps using % tokens) that
then does whatever it wants with the information.

I'm absolutely disgusted that more and more programs feel the need to

use), ldap, and everything else under the sun.  Can't we just keep it
simple people?
