Not entirely true. If you save a document as MIF from any version of Frame,
that MIF file can be opened from *any* version of FrameMaker. If the MIF
file has content that uses features that didn't yet exist in the FrameMaker
version that is opening the file (e.g. any of the expanded complement of 
system variables that was added in FM6, or master page mapping to 
paragraph tags), the older version will simply ignore that part of the MIF
code and you won't get full functionality. But in any case, the content itself
will be fully accessible and editable in the old version even if some of the 
presentational niceties are missing.
