That is not necessarily true. Most formats use the modelTag. Other formats could place a number in that field. I could easily create a .xyz file and use numbers to identify the models.

I don't see that the issue is specific to .PDB files. I think the question is ... If any file format uses numbers to distinguish between the models then would you want to use that number as the modelTagNumber so that you would see it formatted with %M ? Look, if the tag presented by other file types is not a number then the behavior will be exactly the same as you desire. If you believe that no other file type will ever use a number for a model identifier then the behavior will be exactly the same as you desire. I am not saying that I know the absolutely correct answer to this, because I have struggled with it. But I see no reason to make the change to restrict the behavior to .pdb files at this point.
