This should work but I think this should be properly announced in order for users to be aware of this. @Olivier R.: would it be possible for you to add this information to the dictionary download pages, since those are probably the very first locations users will look for advice. Also, in order to not miss on pointing this out, I'd like to specifically mention that I was told that for bundled extensions there will be no update notifications! That was already announce in the spec, but probably not everyone has read it.
