The other way around, more likely. Cadeau was the original spelling, the
'voorkeursspelling', and kado had been allowed as alternative. After the
spelling reform of 1995 the alternatives were gone. Not really a problem
if you never used them in the first place.

The 'tussen-n' (kippesoep -> kippensoep), a total mess which was
corrected a little ten years later. Still doesn't make sense all the
time, though. But all in all those changes were minor and completely
insignificant compared what was suggested for the English language in
this thread. :-)
