I think the point was to allow for a methood of "upgrading" allowing someone 
to upgrade from one encoding to another (but I may be off base here).  My 
thought on this brings us back to a point already stated and that is, by 
allowing for this we end up with DB's that are not true data replicas of each 
other.
