I looked at this and it just doesn't feel right to me.  I tried to write
some advice in that tag about what the likely problem was, and couldn't
come up with any case where this was likely to happen except in the case
that sparked this thread, where the intention was to document that a watch
file wasn't appropriate.  In that case, what does it matter whether a
version was specified?  We'd be telling people to omit the version line as
well because that's what our check looks for, but I can't think of why it
should matter.
