It's definitely a higher-level protocol. It's just like music notation:
two-dimensional layout, uses symbols not otherwise found in plain text,
and relies heavily on the relative positioning of these symbols.

A computer encoding of baseball scoring notation would be cool, but it's
not within the scope of Unicode.
