I can see how that would be useful, given that you are already making  
a request to get the RSD.

I'd have two questions/concerns about putting in the RSD:

1- Are you talking about the WordPress version or an API version # ?
2- Where exactly would we put this number?  Looking at the RSD specs  
it looks like we could put a value in settings -> setting under the  
WordPress API section.
3- How does this address the issue of folks who like to hide version  
details?  If we become dependent on this versioning info being  
exposed via RSD and someone removes it, what will clients do?
