I don't really think it matters much who's going to make a new version.
The only difference here is whether you go back to IANA to get a new code
point.  Given that the IANA process is not onerous, it seems like the extra
couple of octets are not really adding anything here.  So I'm inclined to
do as Russ suggests and just have future versions in the same ARC as
opposed to having a separate version field.  Like Roland, however, I don't
feel super strongly about this.
