 > There seems to be some possible crossover as to what would be a post
 format and a custom post type. I would argue that anything that required
 extra data than what Post provides should not be a Post. I imagine it
 should only be a Post Format if it just refers to the styling /
 organisation of the Post's info. An event (which has a start time
 (different from publish date), end time, location etc) would not be suited
 to a Post as it only provides essentially a Title, Content Block and
 Image.

 Great point, and I agree.

 So I retract the ''"Event"'' type proposal but still think ''"Listing"''
 is very commonly used and is frequently not a custom post type.
