Oh I dunno. The precedent of RFC822 - the very standard we rely on - has
survived numerous upgraded and enhancements over a 36 year period and managed to
do just fine without a version.

I might add that RFC822 seems to have adapted a lot better than the v4 vs v6

What's rather impressive is how aggressively the general Internet
