Lots of things the TC could do.
If 1.2 defines a clear action on 'forwards compatibility'
that might act as guidance for retroactive action on forwards compatability?
I'll post a comment to the comments list if that might help getting it
on the TC's agenda.
I see it as a shortcoming of the current spec.
