Seems unlikely. I was not even aware that pre-2.0 files could possibly be run by
3.0 anyway. Don't suppose there is any chance of partially resurrecting that
feature [ie unencrypted] in any form is there Rob?
(OK, don't sweat it, I know the answer was NO when I asked before)

However if they write code in ascii-7 but comments in Japanese...

I strongly disagree, we should rise to the (formidable) challenge of a wider and
multi-lingual community. If I cannot read some future code written in, say, Urdu,
that may well be annoying[1], but I cannot believe there is or ever will be any
benefit to us deciding now that such should never exist.

[1] aku has previously submitted quality code which was both named and commented
in a foreign language; this problem already exists. To his (or her?!) credit, an
english wrapper was provided.
