Correct.

Because the output format has evolved rather than being specified by a standard.

But to be fair, the output format does not change that much, and
it could be documented if there really was a need.

No, but it would be nice to have.

A fixed, extensible, machine readable output format would be much appreciated
as a new feature for objdump.  All it really needs is someone with the time,
knowledge and motivation to write it.
