I've also tested that the following worked:
ServerName lip-printserver1.lip.ens-lyon.fr:631/version=1.1

There's a small mistake:
+<P>The default IPP version is 2.0 but can be overriden by adding a slash followed by <CODE>/version=</CODE> and the desired IPP version (can be 1.0 or 1.1).</P>
You should say either "by adding <CODE>/version=</CODE> and the
desired IPP version [...]" or "by adding a slash followed by
<CODE>version=</CODE> and the desired IPP version [...]",
otherwise there would be 2 slashes.
and in cups-client.NEWS, replace "explicitely" by "explicitly".

Agreed, though detecting the IPP version would be much better
(isn't the negotiation part of the protocol?).
