Google keep changing the XML output from their Geocoder API.
The following query used to return a SubAdministritiveArea node, and
now doesn't:
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=EH10+4,%20UK&output=xml&key=abcdefg

If Google are going to issue updates to their Geocoder API, can they
please apply version numbers so systems can reliably use the data
output from the service.  Changing the structure of XML data
inherintley defeats the purpose of XML (that is, data exchange between
machines).

I want to be able to query a version, or subversion to get nodes with
the names I expected when I built my system.  Otherwise, my system
makes many unnecessary hits to the service as it searches for the
correct node with different formulations of query.  Version numbers
will help developers and reduce load on Google's service.
