I'd point at the IETF/INCH-WG work for a standard abuse@ reporting
process/format... If you send hundreds or thousands of reports to an ISP
abusedesk (or ISPs' abusedesks) a standard machine parsable format is a
key ingredient.

I think that atleast one ISP would love to see standards formatted reports
about it's users (abuse () uu net), provided that the appropriate information
was included.

one-size-fits-all, and they aren't always easy to convince folks to deploy
