Not sure if this one went anywhere but here are my thoughts.
I like both ideas. For the first (explicitly setting the ows version) what
about the hypothetical case of a ogc service for which there is no version
that corresponds to ows 1.0. Then it would probably not make sense to
return the 1.0 error document in the ambiguous version case.
Gabriels idea is certainly simpler and more consistent with our general
version negotiation strategy of the highest wins when its ambiguous.
The configurable idea might make more sense if it were something like
configuring the default version for a service period, overriding the
default behaviour of returning the highest version. This would be a pretty
nice feature for people upgrading to a version that adds a new service
version.
