After discussion on the telcon, here is my suggested
rewording to the resolution for PE 163.

Change:

 Even though the VersionNum production matches any version
 number of the form '1.x', XML 1.0 documents SHOULD always
 specify the version number as '1.0'.

to:

 Even though the VersionNum production matches any version
 number of the form '1.x', XML 1.0 documents SHOULD NOT
 specify a version number other than '1.0'. 

       Note

 When an XML 1.0 processor encounters a document that specifies
 a 1.x version number other than '1.0', it will process it as
 a 1.0 document.  This means that an XML 1.0 processor will accept
 1.x documents provided they do not use any non-1.0 features.

Comments?
