           Summary: Add a version field to dump files
           Product: XML Snapshots
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: ar...@wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: hippietr...@yahoo.com
                CC: tf...@wikimedia.org


>From time to time the XML format of the dump files has changed. For instance
<redirect> was not in the original format and I think also <restrictions> was
not there.

If the header of the dump files had provided a version I could've handled
redirect tags efficiently with a fallback to parsing the text field for older
versions.

Since the dump file format is sure to change again in the future a version
field would make much sense.
