We may wish to add a mechanism for specifying the requested format as a (comma-separated?) list in preference order. E.g., if the client can accept both BAM and CRAM it is useful for it to indicate this and let the server pick whichever format it is most comfortable with.

[This issue was previously listed as an “existing clarification suggestion” within the htsget specification text itself.]

Move enhancement suggestions to GitHub issues
df96264 
Remove enhancement and suggestion sections as they have been created
as issues on the hts-specs repository instead:

- #594 Request reads from more than one ID at a time
- #595 Allow clients to provide a suggested data block size to the server
- #596 Add a way to request reads in GA4GH binary format
- #597 `format` should probably be specified as a (comma separated?) list
