RFC 6891 does not say so, quite the opposite "the > VERSION of each response SHOULD be the **highest** implementation > level of the **responder** [emphasis mine]"
no, and marka has the right explaination. joao cleaned this up in the -BIS document. as stated, the responder's given version number is the highest that it supports, but the responder's use of EDNS features will be limited by the requester's version number. this allows passive signaling of potentially higher version numbers which could be cached by the requester. while we have not added a second version number yet (which we should -- along the lines of "grease" where we occasionally revise the version number just to force the negotiation logic), there are only two ways a new version number would be used. first, the requester might start with its highest known version number and then back down (iteratively) using a BADVERS signal from that responder. this is suboptimal. second, the passive method described above. this is currently optimal. -- Paul Vixie
