It is also in line with the general calibre philopsophy of not changing things if not required.

I guess what I am asking is some way of marking a particular instance of a format as a "Master" that is not to be overwritten.
FYI, I never overwrite my "master" when doing a same format conversion. I do this:
  • Add an empty book (It's on the Add icon)
  • Select that empty book first and the one I'm working on second.
  • Merge the two with "Keep others" for the merge.
This produces a copy of the master record. I work on the copy until I'm happy with the results.
