OMG, I know. I used to get .mov mezzanine files all the time where an operator trimmed out leader or something and did a Save instead of Save As. It was a coin toss whether any given video tool would read the edit list, or just grab the whole elementary stream. <shudder>.

More a technology can do same thing in different ways, the more implementations will wind up diverging. That was one nice thing about AVI as a format - it was so brain-dead simple it was really hard to get into trouble with it.
