Section 1.7 (Differences Between RFC 4306 and This Document) states:

   The protocol described in this document retains the same major
   version number (2) and minor version number (0) as was used in RFC
   4306.  That is, the version number is *not* changed from RFC 4306.

Section 2.5 (Version Numbers and Forward Compatibility) states

   The minor
   version number indicates new capabilities, and MUST be ignored by a
   node with a smaller minor version number, but used for informational
   purposes by the node with the larger minor version number.  For
   example, it might indicate the ability to process a newly defined
   notification message.  The node with the larger minor version number
   would simply note that its correspondent would not be able to
   understand that message and therefore would not send it.

New notifies have been added to the bis draft.   Is a bump in the minor
number warranted?  Is there a down side to bumping the minor number?
