There was a problem hiding this comment.
the main problem with these .format things really is the ambiguity, for example if you have "/commits/foo.bar" with an optional format ".bar" could be the format, or later ".patch" could be the format which would be expected but ".bar" could be part of the value, and unexpectedly become the format. IMO this is why people should just always use Accept instead
