You might make it easier for the recipient to do validation by including a
version in the namespace, but you are making it hideously difficult for the
recipient to process the incoming documents using namespace-aware tools such
as XSLT and XQuery - as anyone who has tried to write code that handles the
different flavours of RSS can tell you.
