Originally misunderstood your request :-)
Not much as far as comments go... The format:

M:mmap F:CircleMUD T:room - 185.wld

looks cleanest and most understandable, and with some systems (such as
where mobs and rooms are integrated) the T: line might be optional.  The
- could be eliminated.  It's almost like a command line.  Using = instead
of : might be good also.  Could have whole words...

Method=mmap Format=CircleMUD Type=room 185.wld
