Just to be crystal clear, the places where you have '16' could also have

I think it is of the utmost importance to have a URI that does not include a 
version number
and always provides the latest answer. Otherwise you have a proliferation of 
identifiers
mean the same thing but appear to change every time the overall vocabulary is 
updated. You
can also have a version-specific entry if desired.

There were similar discussions regarding identifiers for coordinate reference 
system
identifiers from EPSG (European Petroleum Survey Group), and it was fortunately
recognized that a version-less URI was essential.
