PS In this case, it will not be possible to preserve output when
reverting to an older format, since we do not have any construct (like
ERT for DocBook) that could possibly allow that. So the reversion will
simply involve deleting the new param. (And the forward conversion will
involve adding a default value.) This need not be done in the same
patch. Sometimes, it is not even done by the same person. E.g., I'd be
happy to do it for you in this case.
