[JS] That’s an interesting point. Since the “current extension model” does not
include versioning, either we should clarify this phrase further, or
pre-emptively factor in versioning for this recommendation.
[TH] I think 'current extension model' is clear enough here, but one way to
address this would be to change the third point from:
```
whether the extension itself should define how versioning is
handled within the extension documentation
```
to:
```
whether the extension itself should define how versioning is
handled within the extension documentation (which may be by
reference to a separate generic versioning RFC)
```
