specification version

[nedmsmith]

Shouldn't there be a specification version be included in the corim-map so that parsers written to a particular version of the spec can differentiate from RIMs that are compliant with a different specification version?

Could be addressed using mime types? But could be stripped off if using a conveyance payload. Version encoded inside is safer. Would likely make sense at the comid level and corim level. Coswid doesn't have specification version. New trend is to not specify versions. Allow evolutionary change and support backwards compatibility. Profile can declare which semantics to apply. Profile can encode a version. Having an option version in two places is OK.
