I have reviewed a few recommendations from http://www.w3.org/TR/.
a) SVGT1.2 http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/ says:
"Future versions of this specification will maintain backwards
compatibility with previous versions of the language" SVGT1.2 uses
version attribute to describe the version of the standard that
was used to write the SVG document. They also use "baseProfile"
as a further means for content versioning/requirements in
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SVGTiny12-20081222/single-page.html#implnote-VersionControl
.
Just to be clear, version="" and baseProfile="" in SVG Tiny 1.2 are
used
only as a hint from the content author as to what minimum version of
the
language is required for the content to work properly. No difference
in processing is required for differently specified version="" and
baseProfile="" attributes.
Furthermore, they've been known to be bad ideas for a long time, and a
non-negligible part of the community would like to see them
deprecated. I'd recommend not basing any decision on these.
