Final nestmates spec

[David Holmes]

Hi Dan,

Sorry, one further clarification.

If we encounter nestmate attributes in a classfile with a version that 
pre-dates the Nestmate release, do we ignore them completely (as an 
unknown attribute) or assume they are in fact our nestmate attributes?

Thanks,
David
