+1
In particular we could choose to ignore version specs altogether.
(Ironically, given the tendency of WG1/2 to ignore R6RS, along with
implementors stating they implement “languages descending from Scheme”
as opposed to just “Scheme” [0], it may well be that ‘6’ will be the
only version number ever used.)

I’m a bit lost. As you said on IRC, we should probably start by looking
at what other implementations do (for those implementations that resolve
modules at run-time, that is.)
Thanks,
