Depends on what you mean by "never".  Try <format type="TXT"
target="http://foo/bar.txt"/> <format type="PDF"
target="http://foo/bar.pdf"/>.

It's only used for URL generation for the HTML version, and its use is
different depending on whether the <reference> itself has a target=,
and whether there are multiple <format>s.
