I encountered strange things from time to time, or more accurately "virtually every time"
both in SGF and ISHI format files.  I strongly recommend that your reader complain about tags
it doesn't understand, at least once, before ignoring them.  Otherwise you'll
never know about the glitches until some sharp-eyed user notices something missing.

Also, a general warning to archivists: Always, always always save the original
material, even if you think you've created a "perfect" archive in SGF4 format.
