As there hasn't even been a first release of kword, nobody should have relied
on the doc format not changing (if he has, he's "nicht schutzwuerdig", as
german lawyers would say ;). Most important is IMO, that the first release of
kword has a nice doc format. It shouldn't be made uglier by insisting on
compatibility to an old format (an old format that actually wasn't ever
publically released and thus shouldn't be used for writing your master thesis
anyway ;).
