 > the standard format is the default and ''completely flexible'' one.

 If we drop the flexibility point, what about the specific examples raised
 above? Are those inappropriate uses of post formats? If they are, then
 that needs to be made clear. If not, then I don't think a workaround is
 appropriate.

 Let's say that a theme beautifully handles the audio post format with a
 custom player, sweet design, etc. With this patch in place, we're
 essentially telling them "nope, you should use the standard post." In that
 case, it doesn't matter that the post is primarily about an audio file or
 that the theme intends its users to post them as audio format posts.

 I stand by my interpretation of post formats as describing the primary
 content but not all content:
 >It seems to me that the post format semantically describes the primary
 piece of content/media in the post, but doesn't exclude auxiliary
 content/media in the post.
 ...but if there's a definition out there that supports excluding media,
 then I can live with that.

 I just want to make sure that this restriction is put in place only after
 considering a full array of use cases.
