This
            was originally before all of the other subsections, so the
            line about “subsequent subsections” actually intends to
            point to the previous subsections.  The intent was to
            suggest that servers include whatever versioning information
            they can (‘version’ or ‘retrievalDate’ as available) to aid
            Clients in confirming the right edition.

        
 

        
I’d
            propose to do one of the following:

        
a)     
              Update
            the language to correctly point to sections 5.5.1 through
            5.5.3, 

      

    
    needs to reference what it's pointing anyway; sections (with
    internal references) are better than "above" and "below" and
    "subsequent".

    
      

        

        
b)     
              Remove
            it entirely, given that we are placing a requirement on the
            way to identify the edition in 5.5.1,

      

    
    Is the "server version" (really more like "server conformance
    profile") really defined by the URIs of the various supported
    namespaces/specs?

    
      

        

        
c)      
              Move
            it to just before 5.5.2, so it applies to 5.5.2 and 5.5.3
            (5.5.1 already requires its own behavior)

      

    
    Slightly prefer
