wes,

   That's the format it's had since 1997.

   man hosts(5):

   "This manual page describes the format of the /etc/hosts file.  This
    file is a simple text file that associates IP addresses with hostnames,
    one line per IP address. For each host a single line should be present
    with the following information:

               IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]"
