Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] about the psml format.I think it is not the best

The psml generated by the ethereal is like this:
----------------------------
<structure>
<section>No.</section>
<section>Time</section>
<section>Source</section>
<section>Destination</section>
<section>Protocol</section>
<section>Info</section>
</structure>

<packet>
<section>1</section>
<section>15:39:42.508837</section>
<section>61.172.247.211</section>
<section>178.100.101.106</section>
<section>TCP</section>
<section>7201 &gt; 3234 [PSH, ACK] Seq=3005779493 Ack=1025335966 Win=65462
Len=6</section>
</packet>
-----------------------
So I think,This format is better.The format is like this:
--------------
<packet>
<No>1</No>
<Time>15:39:42.508837</time>
<Source>61.172.247.211</Source>
<Destination>178.100.101.106</Destination>
<Protocol>TCP</Protocol>
<Info>7201 &gt; 3234 [PSH, ACK] Seq=3005779493 Ack=1025335966 Win=65462
Len=6</info>
</packet>
--------------
Can you agree with me? so I wonder the ethereal can generate this format file?
Can you give me some directions? 
Thanks.
