This is mainly for historic reasons. I started out using an example ground 
network file that was made using an editing tool that was originally created to 
MSFS, if I recall correctly. FlightGear groundnet support was developed from 
that example file, and the taxidraw export functions were in turn developed 
from this as well.

If you have a need to change that, please let me what and how you would like 
this to be changed. We do need to keep some compatibility with the current 
format, but I don't think that it's would be too hard to make flightgear 
distinguish a two number format containing (NEWS keywords, vs a single decimal 
floating point number). I would be open to changing that.

cheers,
Durk
