Wouldn't it be better to (re)use notation of rpm's --query-format, 
i.e. use %{name}, or %30{name}, or %-30{name} for single scalar values,
use :typetag output formats, like ':date' (Use strftime(3) "%c" format.) and
':day' (Use strftime(3) "%a %b %d %Y" format.) for epoch/timestamp field,
use square brackets for iterating over multivalue output, e.g.
"[parent: %{parent}]" for writing out all parents, etc.

Perhaps we could even borrow some code...
