You sure? Wouldn't it be simple enough to add @version="1.1" in, something like
<module name="..." version="1.1">
If you see that 1.1 version string you treat it differently. Or maybe if you don't see it then you pass it through a transformer of some kind.
The only problem that would occur is when you start requiring new data which does not have any way to guess reasonable defaults.
As for "cosmetic" changes in the descriptor, they can be done as you say, but I don't (yet) see the technical need for them.
