I liked Andrew's suggestion about S-expressions.  It looks like a good
balance between ease of parsing/writing.  We can always tweak the
format as we go.

As for points 2 and 3, I'd suggest start documenting the grammar for
types and sections on the wiki.  That will expose some shortcomings
early on before any code is written.
