I should add to this: very, very often the code that handles some record object is far away from the code that speaks the wire protocol. And very often the service is a storage service, and thus can end up storing records of multiple versions (if only due to bugs). For this reason I'm in favor of *also* versioning stored records. But that's a very different thing to putting the wire protocol version in the body of uploads or downloads. _______________________________________________ Sync-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev
