Although it is theoretically possible for an instance of GIMCPTS to be
down level, there are currently no such cases... excepting of course the
very unlikely case of not having GIMCPTS at all.
More specifically, if SMP/E were to implement an additional and new
compression dictionary, then it would be possible to compress elements
within a PTF using the new dictionary, only to be out of luck when
trying to uncompress using a level of GIMCPTS that does not recognize
that new dictionary. But fear not: we have no plans to implement any
new compression dictionaries.
