Ralph asked me why couldn't someone write a converter to convert older books. <br>In fact one of the goals of the project is to address the issue of carrying forward the book storage over the course of 100 years. <br>Thus some care has been taken to serialize books out as XML, and enable the usage of different XML readers/definitions when
<br>reading/writing a book. So this is not a issue of poorly designed storage representation, rather it's a manpower issue, where we (the sophie team) <br>does not have the time needed to create a converter, which wouldn't stop someone in the community from doing it.
