 really be up to every individual application. But "not causing an error"
 is probably not enough. For applications that can load and store OpenMath,
 I'd rather require "not causing an error ''and preserving the data''".
 > That SOUNDS reasonable, but what worries me is a field like
 LastEditedDate: an application that preserved this in ignorance of its
 meaning would possibly not be doing the right thing.
 Hmm, my view on this is that deleting such a field that an application
 does not understand would do most harm. Not updating it is the lesser of
 two evils IMHO. I think it's as excusable as, e.g., not adding the
 currently logged-in user to ''dc:contributors'' – i.e. a feature that
 would be nice to have but is not completely essential.
