I don't always look at these through the shell. I got a screenshot the other day, or someone pasted the flags into a spreadsheet.
/proc/cpuinfo is supposed to be human-readable. But, the flags field, as it stands, is not. You've further proved my point by having to machine post-process it to make it usable by humans. :)
