We go out of our way to format all messages to be parseable, for just
this reason. But the "grammar" is not documented anywhere; it's still
under development, and anyway, it's pretty easy to figure out what you
can depend on just by looking. Trust me -- you won't have any
trouble.
I'm planning to write an Emacs Lisp client when I get a chance, but
would love for someone to beat me to it. :-)
