Krekt. That's what is implemented. If Unicode change their version 
format, I suppose we might have to revisit the question, so  let us pray 
devoutly that they don't.

Does Vesta produce ODDs? And the ODD s/schemas output by Roma will 
definitely include this attribute if you include any  translatable 
elements. However, I agree with you that it's probably not worth 
worrying about right now.
