Hi:
Please, excuse me for jumping on this thread.
I just want to say that the analogy is not correct, because vinyl records (as everybody knows) are analog and thus a different physical format. LIT, PDB, PRC are different logical formats and the effort to support them cannot be compared with the impossibility of vinyl records being played by an iPod. As a matter of curiosity, see this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record.
We are in a digital era and maybe digital works must be preserved as the physical works. For instance, old arcade videogames can be played in emulators and so on.
Regards.
