You welcome.

I don't think it's so much the serialization library.  I'm guessing that 
a lot libraries have this concerns. But many older libraries are not 
maintained so no one raises the issue.  Or maybe they are so well 
written that they never need maintenance or evolution. Or maybe no one 
uses them any more.  Without some real data, there's no way to tell.
