Hi David,

Thanks for this, though I think these are still draft specifications. I had
some input into that document but with experience I am not sure the revision
rules really work for .v0 archetypes though the .v0 idea itself is useful.
The problem is that any structural version changes would force us to move
from v0->v1, which is what I think we need to avoid for these first draft
archetypes. Once an archetype is published, the rules suggested (mostly)
work just fine
