Howdy,
I have submitted an I-D for Yet Another SIP-CLF Format.  This one is pure binary, and follows the libpcap/PCAP file format, encoding the fields into a format which just happens to be decode-able as RADIUS messages by PCAP decoders.  One of the advantages to this format is off-line decoders such as Wireshark can decode it right now, with only a dictionary for the VSA used for SIP-CLF.  For wireshark, for example, this can be done without re-compiling/upgrading wireshark.  Just a 30-second procedure and restarting Wireshark enables one to view, filter, and search through the SIP-CLF fields as is.

The I-D's link is below, and there's a sample CLF file and dictionary file and Wireshark instructions (and even screenshot!) available on:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sip-clf/

There's also an open-source C-code library implementation available there.
