Hello Nick,

Thanks for your reply :)  Implementing it in text form now is a good idea. If it's in Horizon, everybody knows what it is and can easily give opinions.
Then we can discuss which format is appropriate.

This would limit the dependencies on the server side and allow for greater flexibility for user tweaking on the representation without touching the server side.
