Not exactly the spirit that all the other SBML participants usually have...
SBML has been successful exactly because tool makers have been committed to
using a common file format that all could understand. This has made several
of us to end up programming things into our software that was not
originally in our plans - but we gained compatibility and our users gained
even more. If everyone would take the intransigent position you seem to be
taking then there would be no SBML. O well.
