The only issue with you doing this automatically is that if people 
decide to change a newer version of software to serialize as an older 
version, but can still handle loading in the newer versions written by 
the previous version of software.

Although would that happen in practice?  I'd just increment the object 
version again.

Cheers for the pointer on getting the version.

Thanks
