Thank you very much for the information.
I appreciate the effort you put into this group in every aspect of

GEDCOM 5.5, the "latest," was released 15 years ago, in January, 1996.
When I need to add something (such as a dispensation, or perhaps a
godparent), I have to go into the inner workings and code Gedcom
to "EVEN" for Event. Then I have to remember to tell the recipient what
I've done.
Dick Eastman has written about it in the past: http://goo.gl/CvLKm
Many genealogy software programs can read directly from a few other
programs without Gedcom. It is always best to bring someone else's Gedcom
into a separate file in your genealogy program. After you see what's
there (and figure out the godparent wasn't really event), you can fix up
the info in your genealogy program and then merge the two together.
