Actually, there is backwards compatability - HFS+ can read HFS. But HFS 
can not read HFS+ [both as you stated]. What that means is there is no 
forwards compatiablity. HFS was created before HFS+, so it doesn't know 
about future versions of the filesystem. But HFS+ does know and understand 
HFS just fine.
