[Distutils] Compatibility Tags and the Stable API

I'm not sure how to interpret PEP 425 when it comes to packages containing C extension modules that use the limited Python API (PEP 384).

The Python v3.4 version of the limited API is used so should the compatibility tag be...

cp34-abi3-*

That would mean that the 'cp34' Python tag would have to be interpreted as a minimum (rather than exact) requirement.

Grateful for any clarification.

Phil
