Not picking on this specific proposal, but my opinion that in general we would
be better off if we could add acpixtract-compatible output format to acpidump.
We already import acpixtract sources, it is maintained by ACPICA guys and
supports a lot of useful formats.

I even had a half-baked patch for that.
