No, the intention is to have -F <format> be a consistent option across all
subcommands where it's appropriate.

No, but other subcommands already use -p for something else, while -F is
only used for image-create, which has no output, and thus doesn't have a
consistency issue.

No; please introduce this -F option for publisher.  You should also
consider what it will do when given a publisher prefix as an argument.
