I have O(2^n) RRD files (for an arbitrary constant `n'). *scnr*

Parsing and processing the binary data on the user side will be hard and
tedious. Implementing a layer that parses the floating point cookie and
translates values accordingly surely isn't the most complex part of
that..

Please don't get me wrong, I'm all for a platform/architecture
independent storage format. I just think that with such a huge project
in front of you, this will be the least of your problems..
