ELMS Recency Recording

I have heard that a certain agency might be trying to get all its contractors on this ELMS thing.
I undrstand there are some common denominators between this Agency and ELMS on a financial level so their motivation is clear.
However if a Client, ie Airline/MRO decide this system is a good idea, then can they refuse to accept recency in other formats?
Some people spend money on logbooks from NAA's or other organisations but there is no set format for recording your experience. A piece of A4 sheet with the relevent details should surfice however some compliance departments seem very particular.
The supporting documents seem to be fairly standard ie.Recency letters and copies of approvals but if some compliance departments want recency written on certain bits of paper or recorded on systems like ELMS and these differ from company to company should there not now be an EASA form or a definitive procedure for Recording Recency that standardises the system so it can be accepted by all.
Oh and I for one certainly won't be using ELMS.
