Which sort of format would you prefer?  You say the coordinates are not in a 
"special format," but in fact they are in a completely predictable format, which 
you have identified - (x,y,z) for every atom in the selection.  The output is 
indeed cumbersome (it is a bit of a number dump), but it is easily parsed with 
any scripting language because the order is known.  The file may not be 
aesthetically pleasing, but it's perfectly functional.
