<define name="office-document-common-attrs" combine="interleave">
	<optional>
		<attribute name="office:version">
			<ref name="string"/>
		</attribute>
	</optional>
</define>

I.e. it is optional.

I beg to differ on that. Any xml processing will need to know what
elements attributes to expect.

The proposal could create a lot of confusion.
When I open a document I will be unable to tell if it is 1.1 or 1.2
(unless the implementation decides to include the version).

How do I request a feature please?
That this attribute become required from 1.2 onwards.
