That's a very good catch, Michael! I think that makes sense if there is precedence. Unfortunately that bit from the PEP never made it into the documentation so I'm not sure if there is a backwards-compatibility worry.
No. If __format__ is called with bytes format, and returns str, there would be an exception generated on the spot.
