Well, what I was thinking is to allow implementations to select which 
mechanisms they want to support. You could simply receive the Deny and/or Allow 
PDUs and ignore those without trouble.

But Path PDUs can't exist at the same time as Prefix PDUs, so the cache server 
and the router MUST be in agreement on supporting that one.

So version 2 adds Deny and Allow but not Path, and version 3 also adds Path.

What do you think the problems will be with more versions? We already have 
version 0 and 1, so in any event we'd have three versions.

Right.

Great!
