+1 ... good plan.
I've tweaked the patch a little to make the language more consistent (attached)
and have a couple of observations ...
1. It does not appear that an Indoms2 section is needed (it was referred to but
not defined).
2. I don't recall what the "Unused padding (zero filled)" entries are for in
the Instance and Metric entries, but could we (a) drop them from the Instance2
and Metric2 entries, and/or give them a better description in the man page (are
they reserved for internal use, or some sort of backwards compatibility thing?)
