Did this question had some conclusion?

Could the following alternative solution be studied?

Because moving all elements of NewsML 1.x to a namespace is practically making
the implementation non backward compatible, the result of the move is called
NewsML 1.3.

We know that - formally speaking, because it is not backward compatible - it
should be called 2.0, but the ambiguity with NewsML-G2 stops us choosing such
version number.
