If by appliance format you mean disk image + metadata about the VM as
distinguished from plain disk images, then the combination of a VMDK and a
VMX could be considered to be an appliance format. If you mean something

I think VMDK subtypes are very relevant information and has to be indicated
before a deployment. Just an example: if you try to deploy a streamOptimized

Jay, this makes a lot of sense. For disk formats I would suggest: VHD,
VDI, VMDK, RAW, QCOW2. For the appliance
I would just call it VMDK. That's what Vmware
(http://www.vmware.com/technical-resources/interfaces/vmdk.html) and
everyone else calls it, even though there may be extra files to support
it. We're just naming the disk format here.
