I re-read the v2.1 standard, and AFAICT it says that all current and
future version 2.x implementations are compatible, provided that you
don't use optional features.

Since the minor version does not tell you _anything_ about which
optional features are in use, then I think we can safely ignore the
minor version field.

Thanks,
Richard
