Do we specify that in an objects version sequence there must be a monotonic sequence of non-decreasing OCFL version numbers? Ie. something like v1 is OCFL v1.0, v2 is OCFL v1.1, v3 is OCFL v1.1

I think that we should expect that within an object there should never be a decrease in OCFL version number across the version sequence, so:

• 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 - OK
• 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 - OK
• 1.0, 2.0, 1.1 - NOT OK

Editors' discussion 2021-05-18: The requirement that existing versions are immutable is critical to maintain. Agreement that the OCFL version sequence of versions within an object must be monotonic non-decreasing
