In Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt: "Attributes should be ASCII text files, preferably with only one value per file. It is noted that it may not be efficient to contain only one value per file, so it is socially acceptable to express an array of values of the same type. Mixing types, expressing multiple lines of data, and doing fancy formatting of data is heavily frowned upon. Doing these things may get you publically humiliated and your code rewritten without notice." Apparently, thinks are becoming more relaxed these days.
