v3.2: Formats Registry: Inconsistent with the formats in the spec

[valerii15298]

Formats in the spec: https://spec.openapis.org/oas/latest.html#data-type-format
Formats registry: https://spec.openapis.org/registry/format/index.html

In the spec there are 5 defined formats in the table: int32, int64, float, double, password
But in the registry there are 10+ formats for which the source is the OAS

Also for the int64 format there is inconsistency between spec and the registry.
In the spec JSON Data Type for int64 is specified as number but in the registry it is specified as number, string. So it is not clear which type is the accurate one.

Presence of both - the Format registry and the formats table in the spec itself also leads to confusion which one is the source of truth. I would suggest 2 options which would lead to clearer understanding:

1. Delete formats table from the spec itself and reference the Formats registry as the only source of truth for the formats defined by OAS.

2. Clarify in the spec that the formats table is only a part of all formats defined by OAS and is only the example.

But in the registry there are 10+ formats for which the source is the OAS

The others were defined in previous spec versions: https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.0.4#data-type-format

..so we might want to clarify in the registry that these were OAS 3.0 formats, and say something about why they were removed (which is not a question I have the answer for).

If you click through the "OAS" link, it takes you to the correct version that defined the formats.

Separately, I'm moving this to spec site repo as that's where the registry lives- we need to update the issue-filing template (we only split the spec site into its own repo very recently).

@karenetheridge I agree that we should make it more obvious in the registry. Sorry, I meant to include that in my last comment!

It would be great to just™ remove the table from the spec.
