    <thetext>Section 2.3 of eventing starts with:
---
2.3 Notification Formats

This specification specifies two delivery formats: wrapped and unwrapped. Use of wrapped format indicates that notification messages MUST be contained in a wrapper element defined by this specification. Use of unwrapped format indicates that notification messages are not contained in a wrapper element. 
---

We never really define what &quot;format&quot; means.  Sometimes formatting implies
things like encoding and that&apos;s not really what we&apos;re talking about here.

Proposal:
add an intro sentence that says something like:
---
This specification does not mandate how events are serialized into
notification messages. Rather, within the Subscribe request message
a subscriber can specify a &quot;Format&quot; that indicates the set of rules
that MUST be followed when constructing notification messages.
