Section 3.1 says that a new selector should (albeit lowerase

and may lead to selectors with counter-intuitive names. Why not
include a version number or key ID that'd allow this to be
done better? The version could be included as the last part of
the selector starting from zero, e.g. "alice.0" -> "alice.1" ->
"alice.2" etc.

That can certainly be suggested as a strategy or best practice and can
be done now without changes to the specification.

In that light, is the issue just better word-smithing?
