I've thought about that a little too. I don't have a completely general
solution in mind. One thought, however, is that OF1.1 and OF1.2 are
much more compatible than OF1.0 and OF1.1. So, I'm sort of inclined
toward the following as a starting point:
- Common to all versions: OFP_.
- OF1.0 only: OFP10_.
- OF1.1 only, or OF1.1 and OF1.2: OFP11_.
- OF1.2 only: OFP12_.
Thoughts?
