In strict mode, an exception will be thrown when inconsistent metadata is encountered. In lenient mode, the reader will attempt to handle the inconsistent metadata by ignoring certain inconsistencies. This is a solution to a problem of reading metadata 'from the future' that is not allowed by default, but desired in certain cases. See updated ReadMe for details.
Also fix problem with Strict Semantics flag.
