Ok, then there is no impact on the file format.
Pierre, could you tag 1.0.0?
In revision 1.0.1 I would like to point out that, unless otherwise
stated, strings may be encoded either in ASCII or UTF-8. This should
be pointed out explicitly, since a string datatype of one encoding
cannot be read using a string datatype of the other encoding.
