 Replying to [comment:52 Viper007Bond]:
 > All themes that have post format support will have to be updated to make
 use of this new field, correct? Otherwise it is discarded and not used.

 If a theme declares support for a format, then the_content will not be
 modified, so the theme should continue doing whatever it's currently doing
 to extract information from the_content and "do something fancy" with it
 (or not). Basically the meaning of "supporting" a post format has changed
 slightly from "show that option in the UI, and this theme will do
 something with it" to being "this theme will handle all output of this
 format, don't modify it in any way", if that makes sense.
