Generating QR Codes with H and Q Error Correction Levels appear to
prematurely advance the Version of the QR Code.

I'm trying to generate 15 character Version 1 QR Codes using only
AlphaNumeric characters and keep getting back Version 2 QR Codes when
applying the Q Error Correction Level which should support 16
AlphaNumeric characters.

Examples:

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=HTTP://A.TMK.ME&chld=Q

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO&chld=Q

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&chld=Q

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=000000000000000A&chld=Q

14 characters seems to work:
https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&cht=qr&chl=ABCDEFGHIJKLMN&chld=Q

There were no examples I could create that allowed a 15 or 16
alphanumeric character string to be encoded as a Version 1 QR Code...

Can anyone help clarify the specifications and what might be going on
to prevent Version 1 QR Codes from being generated in these cases?

Thanks,
Greg
