I really don't see the problem with ProDOS supporting 40 tracks for reads and
writes.

Any disk formatted at 35 tracks will always act the same.  Only people that
have 40 track drives are going to have to worry about it, or people
that receive disks from others that have been formatted with 40 tracks, which
would probably cause problems anyway...
