The spec now reads:
"Implementations must be prepared to accept all X.509 certificates
versions identified in [X509v3] via the version field. To be clear,
the value of the version field identifies the version of an X.509
certificate in the following way:
  0 is X.509 version 1,
  1 is X.509 version 2,
  2 is X.509 version 3,
  if the version field is omitted, then treat the certificate as X.509
version 1."

Please let me know if that is clear enough.

Kind regards,
Marcos
