In respect ed visa is considered a higher visa then DTV - as long as you were in compliance with your ed visa extended on time and report as required its a positive record to obtain other visas ed visa is a Non-o visa where DTV is considered a tourist visa.

should be fine for them - these changes deals with people using the max time extend - leave a couple days come back - the passport book will reflect it. If you have family from your home country who only stay a few weeks at a time - they should be ok
