Research direction

Review how the format keyword is handled in the Bones document model and compare its meaning with the cited JSON Schema section. Determine the intended distinction between value formatting, form formatting, and validation, then capture the agreed behavior; the issue names no file or test.

Description

Hi,

I found the format keyword (for each properties) a bit confusing. Bones document is using it for how to format the value and the form, while JSON Schema is using it to define how you should validate the values (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-zyp-json-schema-03#section-5.23).

What do you think?

Thanks.
