regrets and a few comments on versioning/imports

I'm at the RIF F2F, and we just had a WG resolution to go for beer, so I
may not be able to attend the OWL telecon.   :-)

Comments on Versioning/Imports in http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/Syntax:

I'm okay the design, but I have a few editoral comments I'd like
addressed before the next publication.

In 3.3:   

    I'd like an acknowledgement that the "current" version may not be
    the most recently created version -- it's just the current one.  The
    most recently created one might be a "testing" version.

In 3.4:

    I think we need more clarity in the last paragraph.  It looks to me
    like we're breaking backward compatibility.    So either I'm
    misreading (and the text needs to be changed) or we have a bigger
    problem. 

I would also like some acknowledgement that some systems do
"auto-imports", where they perform imports based on the URIs used in the
document (especially as names for classes and properties), even when no
imports directive is present.  We don't need to pass judgement on this
practice, but if we don't mention it, it's rather confusing how this
(perfectly legitimate) practice relates to OWL2 import.
