What are good practices for designing extensible languages and for handling versioning?

Description:
W3C defines languages. Languages evolve, creating new "versions" of the language. Evolution is either incremental or drastic.
After evolution, new readers need to work with older content, and new content needs to not "break" inappropriately with older readers.

How should language designers plan for evolution, advise implementors of consumers and creators of content about how to "future proof" what they are making?

Jonathan Rees Note (16 April 2009) "Flame on language versioning and multiplexing" http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Apr/0042.html

Noah Mendelsohn, 16 Apr 2009, 20:28:32

Issue renamed from "XMLVersioning" to "LanguageVersioning" to broaden scope to things like CSS, JavaScript, etc.

Plan is to look specifically at versioning of web technology (HTML, CSS, HTTP, URI -> IRI), catalog versioning mechanisms and analyze them against the forces that cause deployment of content or readers that don't do well when dealing with new versions.

Larry Masinter, 25 Apr 2009, 00:38:17

On 1 June 2009, Larry Masinter published a draft (http://larry.masinter.net/versioning-html.html) for discussion at the June 2009 F2F. The announcement email is at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jun/0000.html

Noah Mendelsohn, 1 Jun 2009, 17:46:31

Since tracker doesn't let you edit notes once they're posted, and since tracker doesn't have a reliable way to distinguish URIs from other text, let's try that again:

On 1 June 2009, Larry Masinter published a draft ( http://larry.masinter.net/versioning-html.html ) for discussion at the June 2009 F2F. The announcement email is at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2009Jun/0000.html (for the previous entry, Tracker mistakenly included the trailing close paren in the link target.)

Noah Mendelsohn, 1 Jun 2009, 17:48:43

in http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2009/11/02-agenda , Noah put this issue under HTML, so I'm updating the product to "HTML 5 review"
