A serverSoftware child for interface?

Use cases:

• Clients sometimes like to know which software they are talking to
• Server software authors would like to know which versions of their software are still around.

Possible solution:

Add an (optional) serverSoftware child to vr:interface. Its contents would be a string, preferably of the form (name) (version).

Alternative:

Just use the server: field in the HTTP responses.
