Versioning

The specifications are each versioned in the form rX.Y.Z.

Changes to X and Y should not be assumed to be compatible with any other version.

For a fixed X and Y, any Z should be assumed to be compatible with any lesser Z.

For example, it is safe to assume that a server which claims to implement r0.1.2 supports r0.1.0, but not vice-versa.
