Public node information belongs in Subversion under cuw/trunk/doc/local/.
Private node information belongs under cuw/private-trunk/doc/local/.
Use one file per record, "primary key" being the record filename,
in RFC822-like (email) format, with free-form notes at the bottom.
This format is both human-readable and machine-readable, adding new
fields to the format is trivial, and we don't have to invent a new way
to disseminate the information: we can use Subversion like we always have
to disseminate the public/private information in a secure way.  Example:

Equipment: WRAP Box
Equipment-owner: CUWiN
Coordinates: 40N, 88W
IP-Addresses: 10.0.186.29/16, 10.116.49/24
Network-membership: racestreet
Internet-connected: no
Host: David Young
Street-Address: 704 South Broadway Avenue Apt. 2, Urbana, IL, 61801
