Is this the right way to check for formats?

formats are defined within the scope of an endpoint, and those endpoints
are themselves defined within the scope of an interface?

I don't see a notion of endpoint here. Does this assume all endpoints
are valid, or maybe the existence of a single endpoint in a device?

Confused.
