  I think introducing the version attribute is a good thing.  But why
don't making it required?  If a further version wants to introduce
slight differences for the same components (I know that can sound
weird, but think about XSLT 1.0 vs. 2.0), that won't be possible if we
have a lot of legacy pipelines without explicit version.

  But if we know that existing pipelines have version="1.0" we will be
less limited.  For instance if XProc 2.0 wants, hum, let's say, just
by chance, to use XDM ;-)
