Is it harder to parse that or

	<packet> 
	<section>15</section>
	<section>7.646900</section>
	<section>192.0.2.1</section>
	<section>127.0.0.1</section>
	<section>{protocol}</section>
	<section>{info}</section>
	</packet>

(PSML) or

	192.0.2.1,127.0.0.1 

(-T fields -E separator=, -e _ws.col.Source -e _ws.col.Destination)?

Perhaps the default packet detail output should be oriented towards being read by humans, with the output of -T psml, -T ldml, and -T fields being what you use if you want it to be read by software?
