Hmmm, I think this would work if there was a "version" attribute in
the BV 1.0 schema. But as there isn't, a BV 1.0 provider would stumble
upon the unknown attribute when validating a 1.1 descriptor.
RIght. It would require new releases of the 1.0 implementations to handle this version
attribute.
I doubt existing implementation would be able to handle it.
