MBs correctly pointed out our mechanism are not good enough for
distuinguishing T and 1st edition Ecma 376.  They are right.  But we 
nevertheless did not provide any mechanisms.  We have to explain 
why.

I think that the existence of other mechanisms for versioning and
extensibility is a red herring.  After all, they do not help to 
distinguish T and 1st edition Ecma 376.
