How to show the data as ABIF format?

Ranks
G,B,P,R,O
18:1,5,4,2,3
12:5,1,4,3,2
10:5,2,1,4,3
9: 5,4,2,1,3
4: 5,2,4,3,1
2: 5,4,2,3,1

Ranks converted into Scores

Your example is in this format:

Ranks
G,B,P,R,O
18:1,5,4,2,3
12:5,1,4,3,2
10:5,2,1,4,3
9: 5,4,2,1,3
4: 5,2,4,3,1
2: 5,4,2,3,1

Is there any published software out there that uses this format for expressing ranks? It wouldn't be hard to add this to electorama/abiftool, but before doing that, I want to make sure I don't clutter the tool with formats that aren't in widespread use.

Here's one way the rankings above would be expressed in ABIF:

18:G>O>R>P>B
12:B>O>R>P>G
10:P>B>O>R>G
9: R>P>O>B>G
4: O>B>R>P>G
2: O>P>R>B>G

This is compatible with many online tools (e.g. my old tool, Rob LeGrand's tool, etc.)
