The problem with doing this is if a 1.1. client send such a request to a
current 1.0 server, the server will return an error. This also includes
any request to get the explain record, so we can't work out the version
from that (or just keep trying different versions until we get
something?)
Hence, only using the 1.1. namespace for new elements will give a better
inter-version compatibility.
