And? If I save to a format it can be assumed that I know its limitations.
Being warned once about the information loss is good enough. Mind, gimp does
not even do that right now. Loss of vector layers and text data goes
unannounced. So how about doing it by letting the user per file type (once
if user so chooses), its capabilities. Export makes information loss
implicit anyway.

Image mode conflicts are a separate problem IMHO.
