This decoupled approach is problematic.  A large part of the point of libxo is to allow changing the human-readable output without breaking tools that consume the output.  Now I need to keep the tool that consumes it and the tool that produces it in sync, so that's an extra set of moving parts.  When you throw jails with multiple versions of world into the mix, it becomes a recipe for disaster.
