With non-rich roots, there's no way of storing the last-modifying
revision, so when necessary, we pretend that it changes for every
revision.  With rich roots, it changes extremely rarely.  There's no way
of representing that in a non-rich-root format.

The only revisions that could be downgraded would be those that were
originally converted from xml5.
