Hi Wesley, I hope you dont mind, Ive replied to the list as well as I think a few people might want to know this answer. 1.2 will not use a new format, probably some new tags, but the rest will be the same. Between 1.2 and 1.3, there will be some more changes we expect that will require a new format and new load/save code. There will be a loader for old docs. There may not be a method to save into the old format. Don't worry, any changes like this are NOT going to mean all your old docs will be useless going forward. I have to say this stuff is quite undecided in some ways. We just know to be able to bring some large new features we need a new format (and will also have a proper DTD etc).
