Description
The Solid specification would undergo many changes over the course of its lifetime. Therefore, it would be necessary for a client to know which version of the standard is implemented by the server.
In response to HTTP requests, the server must identify that it implements Solid and the version of the spec it complies to!
Currently NSS provides a x-powered-by header but it refers to a particular implementation as opposed to the standard. One would have to then get the spec details out of band.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Solid specification text and the server-response requirement described here, then inspect how the current specification discusses implementation identification and versioning. Define an agreed way for HTTP responses to identify Solid and the compliant specification version, replacing the implementation-specific x-powered-by reference; done means the requirement is precise and consistently documented.
