I guess I misunderstood "postings format" before.
I don't know of any examples of adding an entirely new attribute to the postings, except via payloads. All the examples we have are of Codecs/PostingsFormats/etc. storing all the usual attributes (term & its stats (docFreq/totalTermFreq), doc, freq, position, offsets, payload) in "interesting" ways. Maybe we can make this more concrete: what new attribute are you needing to record in the postings and access at search time?
