As a reporter doing manual reporting of occasional phish - great, an optional format is just fine.

As a reporter of quite a lot of phish - I think having something that is standardized and machine parseable helps.

Those that really don’t want to handle reports for a range might want to populate something standard there too (and yes, this is a semi ironic policy proposal) - devnull at example.com or whatever.
