I'm sure you think this all totally obvious, but it's actually really
confusing. ;o)
An example:
- I registered a color model "HSV" and its components, but no format.
- Now I can successfully register a conversion between "RGBA" and
"HSV", all components are (implicitly) double
- BablFishPath.html shows a format "HSV double"
- But "HSV double" doesn't actually exist as a format. Trying to
register a conversion to/from babl_format("HSV double") gives
an error: babl_format("HSV double"): not found
- In contrast, when I _use_ babl (i.e. not inside babl)
babl_format ("HSV double") works just fine.
- Then again, babl_format ("RGB double") always fails, both inside
babl and in userland.
Maybe there is a red line somewhere in there which I fail to see, but
right now I'm just hopelessly confused and wouldn't know how to sanely
describe the situation in the docs.
My knee-jerk proposition would be:
Automatically register a double format for every model that is
registered. Is there any downside to that?
(I thought before that happens already but failed to realize that I had
followed the call hierarchy to somewhere in babl/tests)

I still don't understand that. What is 'its own way'?
E.g. the "CMYK float" row has only empty spots. Picking one of them, I
get e.g. 'Reference CMYK float to CIE Lab u16' in the popup window.
How can babl possibly find its own way from CMYK to CIE Lab u16 without
hopping over several extension-supplied conversions?

Those two even I understood. ;) But I'm still riddling over the red bars.
