Good, so I know what this not is.
But if these 'annotated with cryptic acronyms and scores' PGN become more
popular I might have a problem with it, since my app does import the comments in
PGN. And that doesn't just make the raw PGN unreadable for humans, it makes
imported games unreadable in my app.
That's why I asked if this is official or a de facto standard. In which case I
would want to support it (at least by skipping the [%stuff]).
I would have appreciated the chess application programmer's opinion on that and
especially honored yours, but I guess I'll just wait and see.
