In the end it's a log, not an app GUI, and as with
most logs one that's hard to grok by either eye
or machine. Is there a project to prettyprint
and GUI-ify it for those who don't grok spaces
or T's or consider reasons for iso8601?

As users may wish to do either, how should they
set their environment to produce such iso8601
and "personally-ized" outputs respectively?
ie: What is your LC_TIME?

You could add / refer it into man page.
