user4726: I'm curious if electrum fully support Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets (BIP32). I have seen in source code that some part of implementation is done. But there are also as I think some electrum specific algorithms.
So when I create new wallet in electrum will it be BIP32 compatible? 

user2467: BIP32 support is planned for Electrum version 2.0. The code is already there, but disabled.
You can find some features that were first planned for 2.0, but were included in a 1.9.8 release as the servers were being updated to a new important version so it was needed to apply some changes already to the client to put all in place for 2.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=518133.0
