If my engine supports features X, Y, and Z, but the file format only supports features X and Y at the moment, then storing my data in this file format means I lose data.  I'm not going to store my data in this file format then, so the format is useless to me and quickly becomes obsolete.

I believe this format is going to be used as an interchange format not 
as a main format to store things. But, list those features, if its a 
standard feature then there should be a standard chunk to handle the 
data for it. Then again we can't be so idealistic as to expect we can 
standardize every feature out there to prevent/persuade people from 
making their own chunks.
