Uh, now you got me ;-)
That was meant to work this way:

All formats are registered with PMIOManager::registerFormat()

Formats are kind of singletons and should never be created but only accessed 
and used with PMIOManager::format( const QString& name )

That way you can register your serialization methods once at plugin loading 
time to the already registered format that is used each time.

PMPart uses the registered formats when exporting, but not yet when rendering 
a scene.
