I think we would have the same concerns as there are with OKF hosting it. I personally think the later version clause should be removed and left for the licensor to decide, or at least written in a similar way to section 14 of the GPL[1], which gives the licensor the option to state version specifics, but has a fallback. If such a change is made, then the community may decide criteria for acceptance of a newer revision of the licence.
