We could use a more advanced format.  In that case I would prefer sexps
(but they would not play well with i18n), or, if we use a text DSL,
Org-mode (which is potentially less expressive than arbitrary sexps.)

It’s not a choice that can be made lightly because it will impact
translators and we must make sure we can provide UIs that honor markup
appropriately.

I’m not completely sure it’s necessary though.  Thoughts?
