-IFF helps minimize problems such as new versions of a particular program having trouble reading data files produced by older versions, or needing a new file format everytime a new version needs to store additional information.
+IFF helps minimize problems such as new versions of a particular program having trouble reading data files produced by older versions, or needing a new file format every time a new version needs to store additional information.
-It also encourages standardized file formats that aren't tied to a particular product. All of this is good for endusers because it means that their valuable data isn't locked into some proprietary standard that can't be used with a wide variety of hardware and software. Above all else, endusers don't want their work to be held hostage by a single, corporate entity over whom the enduser has no direct control, but that's exactly what happens whenever an enduser saves his data using a program that produces a proprietary, unpublished file format.
