Two questions concerning compatibility:

(1) User has "old" dictionary and loads it with the patched Ooo version, makes
some changes - in which format (old or new) will the dictionary be written?

(2) User has a dictionary in "new" format (however he got it), but accesses the
profile with an older, unpatched version of OOo (because e.g. he has two
versions of OOo2 installed, but uses the same profile for both). What will 
happen?

I think that file format changes should be done in major releases, where user
data migration is possible in the installation/configuration step. Of course if
a change in a file format fixes a major user problem we should do it even in a
micro or minor release, but I fail to see a major user problem in this case.
Yes, the file format is not useful for direct access by a text editor - but
please explain why you think that it is necessary to be able to edit the user
dictionary with an external program. That's still unclear to us. 
There are a lot of other options to change the dictionary: use the API (e.g. by
a Basic Macro) or change the myspell/hunspell dictionary.
