429151 - Remove version checking for added microformats

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Microformats, defect)

Description

Attachment: Remove versioning code

When I first did microformats for Operator, things were in flux so I added an internal version that got checked before a new microformat was added.

This version actually makes things more confusing in the current code, and I believe the code is "baked" enough that if major changes were made that then required major changes in the microformats API, we would be able to check for those changes rather than requiring internal versions in the added microformats.

This change does not affect existing code paths. It's about extensibility and making it easier for people to write new microformats by not having to worry about internal versions.

After trying to use the API with the internal version number in place, I applaud this decision.  I think it will make it much easier for extension authors who wish to add new microformats to use our API.  This is something that should really go into Firefox 3.
