@geek1011 you might want to look at Modifications for bad eyes it patch zlib streams.
What double formatting problem? I've never heard of it.

Also, the old format is really hard to parse correctly. It takes over 3x as much code, but it is still kind of unreliable (especially the string parsing). It also does not do things like check patch groups. I also cannot easily extend the old one with more complex instructions such as the CSS ones and the variable substitution ones I mentioned above. I've listed some of the advantages of the new format above.
