Correct. My concern is primarily that the draft is proposing also doing
feature selection with this. I don't have a problem in general with using
version names and numbers for bug detection though, so long as the client
behavior is specified along the lines of
If the client does not recognize the specific vendor/version as one it has
its 'bug workaround needed' table, then the client must assume that the
server it is talking to is complete and correct.
