Not sure about that, here is what I have at this early design stage
(the list of properties will definitely grow, these were just the
first that popped into my head):

StarMatch profile format:

First line: M for member, A for applicant, C for new E-mail address for a
member pending confirmation.

Followed by information lines, then a blank line, then the essay until EOF.
Each information line begins with a type letter followed immediately by data.
The first letter is A for internal administrative data like the password,
everything else is the user's input. All administrative lines must precede
the user's lines.

The following lines are defined:

ACcookie expire		Indicates that E-mail confirmation is required. cookie
			must be supplied in the E-mail, expire is time_t in
			decimal.
AM			If present, subscribe to starmatch-ml
AOoldemail		Only in 'C' files, specifies the old E-mail address.
APpassword
BMJD x			Birthdate as MJD (canonical)
BYYYY-MM-DD		Gregorian birthdate allowed in input, converted to MJD
D			(for date) single and looking if present, looking for
			friends only otherwise.
Hurl			Home page
Iurl			Picture URL, may be on our site if we host it
Llat[NS]long[EW]	Location, lat and long are atof-able floating point
			latitude and longitude in degrees. Alternatively, in
			input lat and long may be <num>d<num>'<num>" or
			<num>d<num>m<num>s, converted to floating point.
NReal Name		Real name
Pproperty=value		Any properties one can think of
Pproperty		(without value) flag properties
Scode			Sex and orientation, code is M/F for straight, MB/FB
			for bi, L for Lesbian, G for gay male.
