Hi Ben, There is a general rule to follow in software design and data formats which is very important. If it is a question of hacking a particular implementation to work, or changing a data format to work around a particular implementation's limitations, the answer is, you always hack the implementation, not the data format. Data outlives code 10-100 fold. People's data is what they care about. Applications come and go and people move their data around. It is much more important to have a properly design data format for data integrity, portability, longevity etc. than to morph it just to work with an ephemeral implementation or two.
