The 'f' message is intended to mean 'format' and could be expanded to specify font style and size, and/or other formatting info (perhaps even to suppress carriage return on semi, think of that!)
In order to prepare myself for the future: Do you intend to keep the un-escaped comma to separate box content from format data?

It's a hack. I'm thinking about someday building it into the regular "obj" etc. messages - but this would require making up all new names for those messages which would make backwards compatibility tricky. So for the next while at least I think the trailing message is the way to go.
