4 *Then* would be the time to change the extension. As long as the

9 If/when the format changes to something not parseable by bash, then it

11 (sub-)version will depend on the chosen new format, in case of xml
12 that would be the dtd information.

14 I suspect the rejection of the extension change will be there as long
15 as the fundamental format (bash script) doesn't change.
