Designer's Notes for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG bonus content

I really like the clean layout for most of the sheet, but have one issue: the top "stat block" is incredibly cabbagey. I would have preferred to see a bestiary-style stat block with points listed, rather than the ST 12 [34]; DX 56 [78]; IQ 90 [12]; HT 34 [56] fashion nightmare that's been used in the past. Apart from layout considerations, I can't imagine why this would still be considered acceptable, when a much better alternative is already available and has been used in Dungeon Fantasy supplements already (for example, DF9-Summoners pp. 21ff). Readability is incredibly important and that stat block just falls right on its face.
