Re: p:xpath-version

/ "Innovimax SARL" <innovimax@gmail.com> was heard to say:
| [[
| Returns the version(s) of XPath implemented by the processor for evaluating
| XPath expressions on XProc elements. The result is a list of versions
| supported. For example, a processor that only supports XPath 1.0 would
| return "1.0"; a processor that supports XPath 2.0 and XPath 1.0 backwards
| compatibility mode would return "1.0 2.0"; a processor that supports only
| XPath 2.0 would return "2.0".
| ]]
|
| I would prefer to say that the string returned "contains" the substring
| "1.0" , "1.0" and "2.0", "2.0" and not "1.0" respectively
| It would be a pity that
|
| "1.0 2.0 2.1" wouldn't be allowed by the current spec

I don't think my wording forbids that, it says it returns a list of
versions supported. And I don't want to get into parsing details.
"21.0" contains "1.0" but isn't the same :-)

Would it help if I changed "would" to "could"?
