Are standards for official parts too strict?

I assume Philo was referring only to the header information. In which case it will parse fine on older software, but has additional information for newer software in a way that is easy for them to parse. And Datheader does all the heavy lifting so it's not like it's a challenge.

There's a standard rule for file parsing that says you write pedantically, but read flexibly. Having a correctly formatted header is part of this process.
