Noted, thanks.

Interesting. I looked at the code and it seems that nothing logs "b"
lines in the file. Maybe it was removed? Anyway, I think I can
safely ignore it then.

Yes, that makes sense. Though archiving log files doesn't seem too
statistic-friendly... Maybe I'll have to warn about that somewhere.

OK.

Yes, that would be a solution. I implemented a safe comment string
already, so something like #+FORMAT: should do the trick.

Good. I'll look into that.
