 The schema for the post format depends on the theme. If the theme does not
 support e.g. "standard", and an existing post has that format, then trying
 to update that post with "standard" as the format won't work. You get the
 error `Invalid parameter(s): format`.

 In addition, the documentation says standard, aside, chat, gallery, link,
 image, quote, status, video, audio are all allowed, while it actually
 depends on the theme.
