Never happen. No one is going to go back to existing docs, that work 
fine with the majority of user's software, just to adjust some 
settings for some minority user's software that can't re-save a 
document correctly.

(These aren't complicated docs, with custom styles, etc. I could 
understand a bit of bother with those. These are simple bulleted 
lists - bulleted lists aren't exactly an advanced word processing 
thing; many users use them)
