Version property #8

Open

It looks like the spec doesn't leave a lot of room for future additions.

You could add a version property to the root and specify what the behavior should be if an unrecognized property is found.

My suggestion is that the spec should state something like the following:

unrecognized properties must be ignored by any implementation
the implementation should not attempt to parse the canvas if the version is greater that the version that the implementation supports
when writing a canvas file, the lowest version should be used that supports all features used in the current canvas document

The downside of this is that implementations will be slightly more complicated but it will give the spec a lot more room to grow.

Canvas Spec should include version for migrations purposes. #41
