The reason they don't short is clever engineering. If you look carefully
at the bottom of the T20/32, you will see a little plastic 'bump' in
front of the contacts. Press on it and you will find that is pushes the
Oly specific contacts up into the body. The Shoe 4 and all later bodies
that support the Oly TTL functions have a little depression in the shoe
that the plastic bump fits into. Thus the flashes are compatable with
all 'foreign' shoes in non TTL mode.

And another point, the T20/T32 flash feet are designed so that they work ok on a
generic hot shoe, the additional TTL contacts don't seem to short on a generic
shoe.
