Because having more versions of the spec is a bug, not a 
feature.  How many versions will a server or framework be reasonably 
expected to support?

Also, note that changing the calling convention ensures that you 
can't accidentally run an old application with a server that will be 
sending it different information than it expects.  This ensures that 
we can have clean boundary conditions between spec versions, and can 
hopefully just have a few, well-tested and battle-hardened converters.
