It is not that much black and white. There are nuances with their
benefits and drawbacks, IMHO.
> HTML in feeds,
Yes no information tied to the content.
> CSS,
It is very difficult for validator developers to create a useful tool
because of this. We are forced for now to guess the versioning by
analyzing which properties are here or not.
> PHP,
The scripts have indeed no version information but the test for it is
"working" or "not working. The developer develops for a specific
version.
"Download PHP version X.",
"You can't use this function with PHP version X."
It is a closed/wall garden environment as in my scripts are limited
by the capabilities of the libraries installed on the server.

Full version mechanism. It is call year. I can't understand a 300
years old text properly if I don't have access to the year it has
been published. In fact, human language is a rare case where each
word have a version with a span of years.
