I truly believe any software product should always accept and use previous content used by that software as it was intended to be used from the past in all future releases. Even though technologies advance people have invested in the use of the previous products and the software developers should always take those instances into consideration during development.
All to often developers say stuff like this is the new standard. Well you had a standard in the past why not make the old standard acceptable with the new and have them both works together. In many instances it's not much more then a few characters or a line or two of code to make it happen. Ignorance in this area is always resulting in Loss of new sales and loss of some new customers.
But hey, what do I know lol........
