Possibility To Add More Formats Into PRONOM

[Don Tsang]

Apologies in advance as a first-time poster.

I would like to recommend the reading of some of these repos, since they may or may not include other formats that is not covered in PRONOM.

A list of actual formats that are not included in PRONOM will be provided in the next post, the goal is to include such formats into the system, or give reasons as to why they are not included.
