I've noticed a rise in proposals for standard .txt files. I wonder if it's because of the ability for llms to interpret human-language text files.

https://humanstxt.org/ (e.g. https://swwweet.com/humans.txt)

https://llmstxt.org/ (e.g. https://annas-archive.gl/llms.txt)

https://agents-txt.com/

Ofc there's also been more proposals for adding features to existing widely adopted standards. Like content-signals for robots.txt[1]

There’s the well-known proposal[0] that’s been around since at least 2019 that advocated for standardization in the discovery of these kinds of files
