This readability issue is why it is time to revise the PGN standard.  It has
been suggested that XML be used, which is probably the right idea.  But the
standard is getting corrupted with the stuff ChessBase has added and it makes
sense to come up with a better "standard" before what they are doing becomes the
"standard" by default
