So there's also a CSV. :senko:

Yeah, but it's ugly. ( https://screamshitter.club/rvl/prometheus ) Semantic markup is better (parseable by selectors, presentable to the person using the browser as-is, with links and everything), there are plans for that. CSVs are better (very easy to use by piping them into awk), those are already present, RSS is better (wide variety of clients that will show you just new stuff). There are a million easier ways to get a single number into a TSDB, so there aren't any plans for Prometheus; if someone plans to actually use it, plans might form, but I don't have a use for it.
