+It was noted during discussion of Issue [250924.1][250924.1]: Add
+language codes for BEAM languages (Erlang, Elixir, Gleam) at
+the September 29, 2025 DWARF meeting that the compiler or
+other implementation version codes are sometimes confused
+with language definition codes.
+
+The definition of attribute `DW_AT_language_version` is given
+as bullet 4 in Section 3.1.1 Full and Partial Compilation
+Unit Entries of recent DRAFT V6 documents, as in
+
+> A `DW_AT_language_version` attribute may be specified whose
+> constant value is an integer value that indicates the
+> version of the source language. This value is encoded using
+> one of several schemes as shown in Table 3.2 on the
+> following page. A value of zero is equivalent to omitting
+> this attribute.
+
+## PROPOSAL
+
+At the end of the first sentence quoted above, add the
+following footnote:
+
+> [1] The language version must not be confused with a compiler
+> or other implementation-related version code associated with
+> a language. The language version is specified by the
+> individual, committee or other authority that develops and
+> maintains the language definition as such (independent of
+> any implementation).
