Re: [Geopriv] Datum field changes in RFC 3825bis (affecting Sections 2, 2.1 and 6.2)

Given that this bis doc is going to obsolete 3825, then this bis doc
is defining both version 0 and 1 - because someone can still choose
(and I'm not sure why they would, but they could) to implement only
what works in version 0 of this spec.

That this doc specifies both v0 and v1 needs to be said if anything
is said., and I think something needs to be said - given we're
obsoleting 3825 "for cause".
