No, the only file format (that I know of) that is part of the standard is
the public key file format, and that was relatively late in the process.

For OpenSSH, the config file format is documented in the ssh_config(5)
man page (and sshd_config(5) for the corresponding server config file).

usually comes from bad judgement.
