Please give an example, where X-FEN is confusing and Shredder-FEN is not. Instead the opposite of your statement holds. So your statement is not based on facts, but merely on propaganda. Whether a form is compatible or not does not depend on popularity but simply on keeping the status quo or not. Take the 18 pseudo-FRC positions as an example, and you could easily see the creating of incompatible code twins for identical positions. Despite there is no difference at all between the standard chess starting array and SP-518, Shredder-FEN introduces different encodings, which obviously is nothing but incompatible nonsense.
