RE: [widgets] P&C Last Call comments, versioning

Hi Marcos,

Thanks for the link!
It is very helpful.
It seems, however, that the versioning battle is still there.
The blog you directed me to is still just a blog AFAIK.
So http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/ may need an update as in the blog, presumably preceded by some discussion.

As a kind of summary, it is ok for me to have namespace as versioning mechanism.
Having namespace + version + baseProfile seems redundant.

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Marcin
