Future-proofing for HTML is not a problem, as we require the implementation to
state what versions of HTML we support (or does this only apply to XSLT - I
dont know XQuery at all).

It also means we dont need an erratum, I think (unless it is to define a new
error code).
If the public identifier does not match the requested version of HTML, then the
processor doesnt support this pseudo-html version. So the processor is already
free to issue an error message (and, I would think, is obliged to in order to
claim conformance).

The same applies for XHTML.
