This is possible, but this new format may need its own version number if
it is not both forward and backward compatible with current format.

If the problem is just with few words such as "van", we can add a hack to
libvoikko to forbid initial caps for these. But at least in Finnish even
these should be capitalized at the start of a sentence.
