ISSUE-140 CPP — no conformance versions

Summary: Conformance to HTML should not have versions.

Rationale: As previously resolved HTML is a language without versions.  
Introducing versions for conformance goes against this idea and will give  
the impression there is a difference between an "HTML5 conforming  
document" and an "HTML6 conforming document". The suggestion in the Change  
Proposal that applicable specifications could define their own terms will  
lead to a myriad of definitions related to HTML conformance and will not  
make the situation any clearer than simply using what is there today.

Details: No change.

Impact: By not introducing versions in HTML conformance we keep it clear  
HTML does not use versions and we prevent the need to introduce lots of  
definitions around HTML conformance.
