/proc provides data. The mechanism is C data types.
Formatting that data is policy, and the Maestro's of
the kernel would probably prefer not to deal with whether
the format presented to the user is Serb or Croat or Czech
or Slav.
If /proc gets a self-typed dual for a particular datum it
has done it's job. As far as the read-only stuff is concerned.
