The final AMQP 1.0 spec of the AMQP WG exists since last year and it wasn't changed since then. We've spend the time with formatting the spec (basically). There is actually no reason to *require* AMQP 0.9.1 especially since you are one of the chairs from whom I expect a 100% dedication towards 1.0. Making 0.9.1 mandatory in such a big project damages AMQP 1.0 even more. This is a slap into the face for everyone spending money and work into implementing AMQP 1.0. Thanks for that, Matt!
