On one hand, the wording "[the] format keyword allows for basic semantic validation on certain kinds of string values", does not explicitly imply that it can't also be used with other types of values. On the other hand, the fact that the documentation for format only appears alongside reference for the "string" type gives the false impression that it's uniquely for use with strings.

It's also true that the only value for format that are explicitly defined by the spec apply only to string instances, so it still might be helpful to have documentation on pre-defined formats that apply only to strings in the string documentation where it already is; however, more general documentation on "format", and custom formats, could belong elsewhere as you suggest.

Is there a good, real-world example you could point to, of using "format" with another instance type? Maybe the "int32", "int64", etc. example?

(although note that their byte and binary formats should actually be handled wth contentEncoding)

Thank you--yes, I had seen that posted in another issue but it's good to have here too.
