[xsl] xslt 2, forward compatibility mode.

says

<quote>An element enables forwards-compatible behavior for itself, its
attributes, its descendants and their attributes if it has an [xsl:]version
attribute (see 3.3 Standard Attributes) whose value is greater than
2.0.</quote>

I'm having a problem with this. 
If I write a stylesheet with version="15.0" as an attribute of the root
element, just what am I saying?

That I hope it will work for the next 13 versions?

That I don't want any errors reporting?

Some sort of future proofing?

Is this unique to xslt? I can't recall it being used on any other recs.

Does it make sense to anyone else please?
