Just out of curiosity - are there any other known inconsistencies with the file formats documentation?
Good question. Let me think...
The segments file has also changed format, and this is not yet reflected in the file format documentation.
I've just updated this. Again, let me know if anything is wrong and I'll correct it.
We should probably also somewhere make clear what's changed. We promise to do so at the top of the file, but don't. So perhaps sections which have changed should get "since 1.4" or "changed in 1.4" notices or somesuch. This will make life much easier for ports.
I would like to, sometime in the future, formalize the file format structure somehow. Perhaps an XML file that describes each file, its bits and bytes in the detail that is currently done with fileformats.html. If we did this rigorously enough, it shouldn't be too hard of a leap to have some type of verification test to ensure the format created matches the specified structure.
I'm not sure if any code generation could be done from such a descriptor, but maybe that is an option also in order to keep things tightly in sync.
