All this seems reasonable to me. However, I'd purposely move b) to the end of the list, to ensure that we have a whole set of version-agnostic documents and that only the last one has to be swapped with whatever we want for the transport. We should also take a look at 7540/7541 as there are a few references to 1.1 when it comes to gateways, which means to me that some elements might be missing in the semantics part (eg: cookie header concatenation probably, and stuff like this).
