Considering input from [1], [2] and [3], I propose that DR702 be
reworded as Oisin suggests:
DR702 Requirement for Evolution
The XP specification must define the concept of protocol
evolution and define a mechanism or mechanisms for
identifying XP revisions.
This mechanism or mechanisms must ensure that an XP
processor, by simple inspection of an XP envelope, may
determine whether or not the envelope is compatible with
its
processing capability.

Original text was:
The XP specification must define the concept of protocol
evolution and define a mechanism or mechanisms for
identifying XP revisions. This mechanism or
mechanisms must ensure that given two XP messages it
should be possible, by simple inspection of the
messages, to determine if they are compatible. The
specification must define the concepts of backwards
compatible and backwards incompatible evolution.
Furthermore, the XP envelope must support both
optional and mandatory extensibility of applications
using the XP envelope.
