Not sure about that, here is what I have at this early design stage
(the list of properties will definitely grow, these were just the
first that popped into my head):

StarMatch profile format:

First line: M for member, A for applicant, C for new E-mail address for a
member pending confirmation.

Followed by information lines, then a blank line, then the essay until EOF.
Each information line begins with a type letter followed immediately by data.
The first letter is A for internal administrative data like the password,
everything else is the user's input. All administrative lines must precede
the user's lines.

The following lines are defined:

ACcookie expire Indicates that E-mail confirmation is required. cookie
                        must be supplied in the E-mail, expire is time_t in
                        decimal.
AM If present, subscribe to starmatch-ml
AOoldemail Only in 'C' files, specifies the old E-mail address.
APpassword
BMJD x Birthdate as MJD (canonical)
BYYYY-MM-DD Gregorian birthdate allowed in input, converted to MJD
D (for date) single and looking if present, looking for
                        friends only otherwise.
Hurl Home page
Iurl Picture URL, may be on our site if we host it
Llat[NS]long[EW] Location, lat and long are atof-able floating point
                        latitude and longitude in degrees. Alternatively, in
                        input lat and long may be <num>d<num>'<num>" or
                        <num>d<num>m<num>s, converted to floating point.
