That's the point, yes. An editor that is not 0.6 capable will only be able to participate in a limited way because it will be unable to track version numbers on upload. So even if one would initially employ the timestamp hack I suggested, if you change the same object again in your editor you will definitely not be able to upload that change. A non-0.6 editor will also not ask the user for a changeset description which we consider an essential part of our new changeset concept; the compatibility API would have to make something up, thus greatly reducing the usability of the data. All this is acceptable for a one-off "I have this file lying around from the day before the big change" situation, but not acceptable for a prolonged changeover time.
