 Nope, sure doesn't, but then "x-" formats would not be for portability but
 instead of when people needing to do implementation-specific Post Formats
 much like how the "x-" does not stop conflicting MIME types either.

 Ugh. That would make WordPress coding start to look like working with
 Enterprise Java Beans.  Too complex. Not my vote.

 > Will there be a quick way to set the Format of all posts in a particular
 Category (eg all posts in category 'Asides' to format 'aside')?

 Using `$wpdb->query()` would do it quickly.
