I've looked at the Bluewave format several times over the years for
consideration in supporting in Synchronet, and ever time I conclude that it's
hardly any better than QWK or QWKE and my extensions to QWK/QWKE (namely, the
HEADERS.DAT file) blow Bluewave away. http://wiki.synchro.net/ref:qwk

I would say the "much higher standard" is actually Synchronet-extended QWK.
:-) And I agree, more developers should adopt it.
