In terms of the file format they would be. Older versions of Writer would just
ignore the extensions. The question is how much backwards compatibility do we
need to build in.
In the current version of Writer every time you insert a Bibliography
Entry / Citation the full set of bibliographic data (author, publisher etc.)
is stored with each Entry, and no link is made with the source of the entry.
The only way to correct a Bibliography Entry is to find each one and edit its
data, or correct the database and reinsert the relevant Bibliography Entries.
backward compatibility is often regarded a holy cow. The ones saying
that you never ever are allowed to break it (often representing
commercial entities), while others saying that such a beast never
existed (often voiced by open source protagonists), that you are always
allowed to do whatever you want, at least on the ABI level.
So, my personal approach mostly is, if I do not expect to annoy to many
people, I just break it and see what happens, otherwise I keep it.

Sorry for not being to helpful here, I am sure Michael Brauer has more
