Matching interface versions is done by the endpoint mapper.

So if you support 1.1 and 1.2 of a particular interface, then the
endpoints for both ifspecs are sent to the ept.  When a client comes in,
the mapper does the major/minor version checking and sends back the right
handle.  When the client actually contacts the server, the ifuid uuid lets
the runtime know which EPV to use.

Hope that helps.  Hope it's right.
