Actually, I'm concerned about future enhancements to
the xml specification for MrProject (0.7.0 and
higher).  Will 0.6 be able to import those files, or
would it be confused by the new tags?

Aside from compatibility between MrP versions, this
would also be good for other PM tools that would like
to be able to export to MrProject format.  They
wouldn't have to ask the receiver what version they're
running.

Ok, I started a documentation standards doc for
MrProject.  I'll put it in there.
