The protocols should be in one place, the interface to a WebServer in another
place.
Domino is a WebServer so you should not care about the protocols but just
provide the calls the core part needs, otherwise we will have a huge quantity of
code copied in several places (Hard for maintenance).
These version things should be only when making a backport of something new to a
old version or when adding a code that cannot work in an old version.
