Hi Luke,
I'm still not clear. Are you thinking about export/import where someone tries to import a file exported from an older version- in which case, simply tagging exports with a version number and rejecting imports with old versions may suffice. Or do have other scenarios in mind?

My thoughts are that we need to think about versioning if we offer an import option, because otherwise we have a big problem the first time we want to introduce a feature that needs a schema change.
