Why should the registration be specific to one version?

I think the most widely used type with significantly different versions is 
HTML. AFAICT, the text/html media type is used for all versions of HTML in 
practice, https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/html seems to 
permit that, and if it's been a major problem, I haven't noticed.

Why is versioning more important to YAML than to HTML?
