I can not say with 100% certainity, but I guess the point is the other 
way around.
If you set "Version 1.1", you basically tell other people that "Do not 
expect this to work on earlier versions than 1.1".

But my guess is that it is not "enforced" by the scripting engine, so 
the script _might_ work.  You as a script writer just can not guarantee it.
