First I think you should use "substitution", not "value", because
that's how the SPECIFICATION alist is described:
SPECIFICATION is an alist mapping format specification characters
to their substitutions.
And then I'd suggest something like
If the substitution for a specification character is a function, the
function will be called only if FORMAT uses that character.
