I saw that after writing my post. My bad.

That would force recipe writers into using the date as a version string.
Not all will be happy with that.
Not that I'm totally adverse to "Recipe-version:". I just think it's
redundant, and I'd like to avoid that. I don't think that
Version: 0.7.11
Prerequisites: PmWiki 2.1.5
leaves much doubt about what the "Version:" header leaves much room for
doubt. (Suggestion: set up a template page for new recipes, and place
the current stable version of PmWiki into the "Prerequisites:" line.)
