Though not necessarily specified as machine-processable, some
have long been used by some development tools as though they were.
For example, http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers,
simply due to the infeasibility of processing its content by hand, has
been treated as machine readable, even though the documentation
of the format (which has evolved over the years) is just some comments
in the file itself.

Ltru has gone to unusual lengths to formalize both processes and
formats.

Randy
