 > Any chance the "standard" list could be pulled and cached from a web
 service on WordPress.org? That way the standard list could be decoupled
 from release and the community could add desired Post Formats more
 quickly, maybe by using an ongoing polling mechanism to see what people
 need?
 Interesting idea, but I think revisiting this every 4-6 months (i.e. every
 major release) seems sensible. The goal is for people to switch themes and
 for all of their content that they curated by format to continue to have
 special treatment. Just tacking on more formats as we go whenever someone
 comes up with a use case is against the goal of having consistency and a
 standard across just one area of theme development. A constantly moving
 standard is impossible to hit.
