The main question if its possible to introduce it without significant speed loss. While in OpenDBX you may do whatever you want (kind of ;) playing with object format will have huge impact on everything.
Also, there's a question if its really worth doing like that. An existing 16 object formats is more or less covering most of our needs, so what other (new) object formats may serve for.
And of course, I want to use format 5 for something else. :)
