Excuse my ignorance... but what is DOS 4.6?

Will ADOS be able to read the 'Atari' format double density disks (these
are just standard format disks which have 256 bytes/sector instead of 128)
used by everyone else besides Atari?

I bet SpartaDOS will have a new version out soon after the ADOS/XF551 combo
hits the market.
