compulsory, single

version=the UDDF version, a program uses to generate the UDDF file

Each UDDF file begins with the statement <uddf version="x.y.z"> (with x, y, and z integers), and ends with </uddf> as last statement. In-between these two statements all other sections are given.

To support cross-referencing on data a certain order of the sections is compulsory. Even if there are no cross-references in an UDDF file this order — see example below — must be kept!

The current version is 3.0.1.
