There was a proposal and a discussion regarding how this datatype would be before I started developing it. We decided to go with the format proposed in RFC. Unless there is strong case, I doubt any non standard formatting will be accepted into core. IIRC we where also opposed to support java like formatted uuid's back then. This is no different.
