~marten-de-vries: Isn't it possible to just use elements in the xml-file when they are supported? That's one of the ideas behind XML I thought. I understand it isn't possible to do this for really big changes, but we can think about doing one redesign of the file format ( with a new extension perhaps? ), and after that using that strategy. It doesn't matter if OT shows an error because of wrong content or because it's a new unsupported version.
UPDATE: JSON is a bit less extendable, maybe a version number would be nice. On the other hand, just using duck typing might work out too.
UPDATE: We'lll do it.
