 This file contains the specification of all supported encodings.
 
+Some Parquet implementations distinguish encodings as "v1" and "v2". From
+a specification perspective this distinction is considered meaningless. 
Writers may use any 
+encoding with both data page v1 and data page v2. Readers should lazily 
evaluate if they can 
+read a file (e.g. only error when required to a read a page with an unknown 
encoding).

Review Comment:
   I rephrased to remove version entirely as it might cause confusion.
