Sure.  No argument there. :)

Ideally, if a URL is used that doesn't include the version
number it should use a sensible default (ie latest).  This
enables the "user choice" thing.

Conversely, having the version selector inside the content
header (instead of being part of a URL) completely removes
the choice thing pointed out above.

Note - I'm not saying it's a killer, it's just you were
asking for thoughts about it.  To me, user choice is
important.  It might not be for the use cases you care
about. ;)
