Technically, the PVDWriter can operate with any writer for the individual time steps. However, ParaView only supports the vtk-xml flavors (https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Data_formats#PVD_File_Format). Not sure, but we could maybe issue a warning? The thing is that manual inspection (in python, for instance), can still be done - if one chooses an appropriate reader for the file format of the pieces...
At least in the API we should probably disallow choosing a format like GridFormat::pvd(GridFormat::vtk_hdf)
