I've always used ASCII representations of the data; no need to worry
about formats then.  Not sure what sort of performance considerations
you have, but it's certainly less of a worry for me.  I'm reasonably
sure the binary format changes more often than you'd like, maybe
something like:

would help.  I can't see anything about COPY support, but it should help
with other things.
