Ken:
I personally favor keeping "Format" required as the simplist
solution for the reasons you state.
However, I support the compromise position of making "Format"
optional because opinion is divided among some active EDA
vendors and users. That allows for more graceful user
design migration and tool support. It may require more work
for some EDA vendors to deal with about 10 special cases.
