No issue there - that's part of why I was asking if there is an obvious way to 
extend an exodus file to contain the refinement hierarchy. But that's just one 
possibility.

If you have a minimal example I could help modify the existing parallel file 
I/O implementation to see if we can get what you want.  I don't know of anyone 
relying on backward compatibility for the parallel format, so I'm not too 
worried about changes there.
