When pedit rules are dumped, older tools will not know about the type field and therefore will completely misinterpret the rule. You must extend this the proper way, which is to add a new attribute or something along those lines. The presense of a new attribute is an explicit communication to older tools that somethng they might not support and understand is going on.
