I agree. I also suggest to amend the documentation to make this issue
more explicitly mentioned. The ELisp manual already says
-- Variable: format-alist
This list contains one format definition for each defined file
format. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^
"Only one format definition per format." But I think it won't do any
harm to specifically warn about violating that.
Thanks.
