I think that should always be the case.  While I don't forsee needing to 
do it differently, I think it's safe to assume:  if we ever need to 
break that for some reason, then it's a newer version of TAP.

Taking that logic a step further, I vote YAGNI on the "complete syntax 
for meta-information" bit.  If we need more syntax, we bump the version 
and continue on our merry way, right?

Is anybody itching for more metadata right now?


I figure we should keep including this link in every mail until 
everybody has read it so many times that they start complaining :-)
