 Negotiation of what version of the OpenMetrics format to use is out-of-band. For example for pull-based exposition over HTTP standard HTTP content type negotiation is used, and MUST default to the oldest version of the standard (i.e. 1.0.0) if no newer version is requested.

 Metric exposition should be independent of production services exposed to end users; as such, having a /metrics endpoint on ports like TCP/80, TCP/443, TCP/8080, and TCP/8443 is generally discouraged for publicly exposed services using OpenMetrics.
