1.3 includes some small refinements in the "Termination" section. I
don't see any disadvantage to requiring continued edits to be licensed
under FDL 1.3, except for the rare edge case of people who want
compatibility with "FDL 1.2 only". My understanding has always been
that continued licensing would be under FDL 1.3.
