Comment (by azaozz):

 > When were you thinking this would initially happen?

 When starting a new post, we can "reduce" the UI on clicking a post format
 button. We know it's a new post because it has `$post->post_status ==
 'auto-draft'`. When opening a post for editing, post_status != 'auto-
 draft'.

 We can add a class on <div class="post-format-options"> to set the initial
 state, then toggle that class with jQuery on selecting a post format. So
 when that class is present the UI will be minimal, perhaps only a "Change
 post format" button. Clicking that button will remove the class and show
 the post format buttons.

 This would mean that once a post format is selected, the user will have to
 click twice to change it. This also suggests post formats should be set
 once.

 > We can't tell the difference between Standard-as-choice and Standard-as-
 default.

 When starting a post all formats will be visible until the user selects
 one. Not selecting a format = 'standard'. When editing a post if there's
 no format we assume 'standard' (same as now).
