We can easily write our XCF loader to handle multiple file formats. (There are already two XCF file versions; the loader identifies the version based on a magic cookie in the header and changes its loader behavior appropriately; the saver uses the oldest version that is able to accurately represent the image being saved.) We're not really that concerned with older GIMPs being able to read XCF files saved by newer GIMPs. -- I love catnip mice. It's why I chew their heads off. They're good for breakfast.
