I'm not 100% thrilled with the idea either, mostly because parsing the
U-A string could be challenging for some sites.  But it does seems to be
the least bad idea I've heard.  We can certainly minimize U-A bloat by
making our subproduct something like "CSP/1".  I'm certainly open to
other suggestions, though.

Why does the CSP technology get to advertise and version itself in this way when no other technology the browser supports does? If we allow CSP to send version information in every HTTP request, what other technologies are going to want it? "I support <video>". "I support HTML5". Etc. I think the slippery slope argument has validity here.

Why not start versioning when we reach version 2 (i.e. there are two versions to distinguish), if that ever happens?
