NETCONF versioning

["Stig Solberg \(LN/EAB\)" <stig.solberg@ericsson.com>]

Hi,
I have a few questions regarding versioning in NETCONF.
Looking at the draft it seems like versioning is meant to be solved 
using Namespaces that includes a version. This seems to be the 
case for the protocol version as well as the "content layer version".

My questions:
a) Is the above statement a correct interpretation of the standard?
b) In case of version mismatch, is the 'unknown-namespace' error sent from
the server supposed to include both the errornous and the correct namespace?
c) Wouldn't it be a good idea that versions where exchanged at Session start;
for instance in the same way as Capabilities are exanged (using the hello element)?
In this way a Client would know if the versions matches and decide whether
to continue the session or not.

Best regards,
Stig
