But remember, the ODF TC is not obligated to work
in progression.  We can and plan on releasing maintenance updates
to existing versions of the ODF standard.  So ODF 1.2 may be followed
by an ODF 1.0 errata, which may be followed by ODF 1.2, which may be followed
by ODF 1.1 errata. So, "most-recent" may not me unambiguous.
