Sorry, what I meant was, is there no way that the server can be made to 
accept clients with a protocol version older than the highest one it 
supports, if there are no backwards-incompatible changes in the protocol, 
as is the case here?

Forcing the server and client protocol versions to match exactly, while 
conservative, is a real pain for server operators and users, IMHO.

Cheers, Chris.
