actually isn't device tree a 1980s design :-)
anyway, as long as we can hit the things I care so much about,
self describing alignment independent endian independent names not magic numbers (I mean, you want to put a UUID in there too, fine, but I doubt a human-readable string will kill us on space)
it can be anything you all think best.

I'd rather not take HOB as a given without considering alternatives. It's a very 1990s design.
Device tree is also a very early 90s design for that matter. If we are talking about clean slate design, how about something actually new and modern like RFC 8949?
From a practical standpoint I don't see HOBs going away very soon but I'm open to possibility thinking on a long term basis.
