Instead of this paragraph, can we reference this https://spec.openapis.org/registry/format/index.html

I think we'd have to talk about which formats are MUST/SHOULD/MAY be supported.

Answer 2 · 2024-07-23T14:07:28.000Z

notice few of them has no source like

decimal
int16 (vs int32 is set as OAS)
http date where we could put the RFC
decimal128
char
base64url

notice that to me decimal is highly debatable as does not belong to a standard and clear definition

is 1 a decimal ? is 1.0 a decimal what is the parsing expression that should be applied having a dot ?
is 4.5e3 a decimal , but then what about 4.5345e3

as this format is mentionned as not interoperable , should it be part of an open standard ?

this may apply the rules MUST / SHOULD / MAY .... and not listed in this table , meaning what is the criteria to be in
having interoperability and defined standard may be a criteria, then all that is not is custom extension
