RE: IBM-DM-008: "version" and "standalone" properties

I believe that our data model by design supports the union of XML 1.0
and 1.1, and that it does not need to have a version property.
Serialization takes care of the differences (raising an error if
necessary, e.g. if it can't represent the character set).

Data Model Section 6.1 (Document Nodes): XML documents have "version"
and "standalone" declarations. Do these declarations affect the data
model in any way? Do these declarations have any interaction with the
"version" parameter of serialization? Some combinations do not seem to
make any sense. For example, can an input document in XML Version 1.1 be
serialized using XML Version 1.0? Does the data model need to record the
XML version from which it was derived?
