Identifying namespaces 1.1

I am concerned that there is no simple way for a parser to determine 
whether or not a document or vocabulary depends on Namespaces 1.1; 
that is, there is no namespace version declaration.

Perhaps one should be added as a genuine processing instruction in 
the prolog after the XML declaration? e.g.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?namespace version="1.1"?>
