In orm and eclipselink-orm schemas, there is a fixed value version attribute on the root element.  (e.g. using orm.xsd 2.0 a user *must* specify a version of "2.0".)

In MOXy, (2.3 and above) the version attribute allows all previous versions.  This actually clouds the use case for end users, since MOXy doesn't actually do anything with this value.  The version here is more for signalling what validation to use, and in MOXy's case, since everything is backwards compatible, it only matters if the version is higher than MOXy's version.  For other users (Dali, for instance) the version indicates what level of validation to apply, or what features are included.
