I think it would be worth to extend docstrings of __format__ methods of concrete types for including the description of type-specific format specifiers. But the docstring of format() shouldn't contain the description of format specifiers of all builtin types.

Detailed documentation of format specification mini-language with tables and examples you can get by requesting the help for FORMATTING. "help('FORMATTING')" or "pydoc3 FORMATTING". It may be worth to add a reference to FORMATTING from the format() docstring.
