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.

Thanks you made the point that I would have made about the analogy being invalid.
