I'm referring to version/maintainer of the *application*. These are checked
right now, and they should be. 

The maintainer attribute is needed to uniquely identify an application. 
E.g. application "Basics" with maintainer "mmbase.org" is not the same
application als "Basics" with maintainer "finalist.com". 
In addition, I think it's obvious that you might want to specify the
required version as well. 

Regarding both required maintainer and version: 
If these don't both match the available applications, the depending
application cannot be installed. I don't see how the system can be expected
to work without these restrictions.
