I compiled a list of the supported packet formats for popular tossers 4 years ago. I don't know if anything has changed since then and it might be not 100% accurate, but it looks like FSC-0039 is the standard that most tossers use for outbound packets and that every tosser can read.

I don't know any tosser that support PKTv3. If there is a need for a better packet format, I would start with a new proposal for a sane binary format. ASCII formats are usually harder to parse than a clean binary format.
I guess it would be better to discuss stuff like this in NET_DEV.
