Lifting 1.1 limit in SCS?

[Molinaro, Marco]

Dear Markus, Mark, DAL,

I took the liberty to draft the erratum:

https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SCS-1_03-Err-2

I'll try to work a bit better on the impact assessment
(if you already have some numbers there it would help).
I remember many services already returned VOTable-1.3.

Also the rationale might need some rewording.

I wonder if (same erratum, w/ title change) we can
also clarify the mime-type there (same block of
sentences), maybe simply pointing to the VOTable
specification directly.

The above erratum is freely modifiable and, if/when
better agreed, I'll copy it also on the relevant
github repo issue for the future version.

Cheers
    Marco
