      Add a required manifest:package-version attribute to the <manifest:manifest> element and define the only accepted value as "1.2". If necessary, add language around this attribute simular to that introduced for the office:version attribute in ODF 1.2 Part 1.

      Add: manifest:version attribute, with the following description:

      The office:version attribute identifies the version of ODF specification that defines the schema and interpretation of the package manifest. The value of the manifest:version attribute shall be "1.2".

      There are new attributes and potential breaking changes between the ODF 1.2 Part 3 Package and the package as specified in earlier versions of ODF. It is not clear that backward-compatibility is preserved because of ways underspecified or loosely-constrained aspects of earlier specifications may have been implemented.

      A way to delimit this situation and assure that ODF 1.2 Part 3 Packages are distinguished and associated with this specification is by providing a mandatory version attribute in the package manifest.
