Don't forget that the SW aim is that eventually both A and B can
convert their systems from using "a" schema to "aa" schema
automtically by semantic botostrapping.

O.K.... let's say A uses "a", and B uses "a". Now, C comes along with
"aa". A tries to read something of C's (written in aa), but can't.
Luckily either the aa schema has assertions about how it relates to
"a", allowing A and B to upgrade, or these assertions are found in a
third party index (ahem...SWAG...ahem).

Versioning is good... but I thought that part of the SW was how to get
around versioning?
