 enable assertion. Assertion is now a requirement in order to meet user

 In addition to the assertion behavior, this keyword also produces its value as
 an annotation.
 
 Implementations:
 
-- SHOULD provide validation for each format attribute defined in this

-- MAY support format values not defined in this document, but such support MUST

+- MAY support format values not defined in this document or listed in the

 - SHOULD use a common parsing library or a well-known regular expression for
   each format;
-- SHOULD clearly document how and to what degree each format attribute is

+- SHOULD clearly document any limitations regarding format validation.
 
 The requirement for validation of format values in general is limited to
 syntactic checking; implementations SHOULD NOT attempt to send an email, connect
 to a URL, or otherwise check the existence of an entity identified by a format
 instance.
 
-#### Custom format values
+#### Format Registry {#format-registry}

+In addition to the formats defined by this document, JSON Schema also maintains
+a registry of formats defined by other specifications and organizations. As of

+<https://github.com/json-schema-org/json-schema-spec/blob/main/specs/registries/format.json>.
+
+Implementations SHOULD support the formats listed in this registry as if they
+were defined by this document.

+#### Custom `format` Values
 
 Implementations MAY support custom format values. Save for agreement between
 parties, schema authors SHALL NOT expect a peer implementation to support such
