MySQL 5.0 can read tables from 4.1 just fine. The problem was purely application side.

An upgrade like this works fine with a database such as Sybase ASE - the database gets upgraded when the database server is restarted. So it's definitely possible, and the user is right to expect it as a feature that should just work. Hopefully MySQL will get this functionality in the future.
