1.x vs 2.x

Hi All,

The current ibischk2 has a switch inside that upon reading a 1.x ibis
file checks if differently (using the older checks) than a 2.x file.

If we are truly backward compatible (are we?) then shouldn't we parse
and test all .ibs files for the current revision (now 2.1) regardless of
the file's ibis version.

Q: Should a 2.x parser be able to read 1.x or not?

Thanks,
