I'd rather not.  That would make sense if we all lived in the open-source
world where everything is upstream all the time.  Unfortunately, not all of
us have that luxury and we need to be able to work on experimental branches
of the spec that may have more extensions than are provided by any loader
version we can install.  I'd be ok with a check for a particular loader
version just to force distros to update their loader but I would like to be
able to build with arbitrary XML branches without having to install a
branch of the loader.
