RE: Primer Text for "Versioning and Service Equivalency"

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure if the formalisation is primer material, though think we've covered 
all of the cases informally in the text. Feel free to add any you think i've missed.

I've added a paragraph headed 'Evolving a Service' to explain the decision tree.

We should await the resolution of LC124 before adding anything here.

Added a point in the compatible section suggesting headers may be a mechanism for 
adding data to a message, especially when the body is fixed.

I'm worried about how much work this entails or how to do this in 
a concise way, but am more than happy for you to pick up the baton
and make any changes you deem necessary.
