Ah ! my mistake. I'll fix that right away.

You are absolutely right, the other overload lines are in the extra-info only.
The general one is in the server descriptor. I confirmed with the
implementation and will fix the spec asap!

Good catch!

Yes, in theory but we didn't go for this considering that the version 1 here
is absolutely broken and at this early time, we wanted to be agile with this
feature and so we backported this as a "fix" to a feature.

Any new features to that very line will see a version bump and a proposal for
sure.

The overload-general line implementation had a mis-communication between the
proposal and the coding work and so we thought we had the X% over Y% but we
didn't in the end.

Cheers!
David
