- 1. Definition af bagudkompatibilitet
Når der i det følgende står anført, at en version er bagudkompatibel, bruges det til
at angive, hvor omsiggribende ændringerne er. Hvis en version er bagudkompati-
bel i forhold til tidligere version(er), betyder det, at en dokumentinstans af den
tidligere version vil validere fejlfrit i den nye version. Det betyder, at man i for-
hold til den tidligere version ikke kan lave afgrænsninger, kun udvidelser.
