Forward CompatibilityForward compatibility is the ability of a system to accept input from later versions of itself. Forward compatibility is harder to achieve than backward compatibility, since, in the backward case, the input format is known whereas a forward compatible system needs to cope gracefully with unknown future features. An example of forward compatibility is the stipulation that a web browser should ignore HTML tags it does not recognise. See also
