Yes, this is a great idea. Can they be backward compatible or does this need to be a new format?

Okay, then we should version it somehow like with a new file extension. It sounds like this would be a useful format to try to promote for tools like dcmqi,...

+1 for being more explicit either in the naming convention or in giving the user the ability to specify the load pattern. I agree that heuristics can be painful.
