groupinstall not version-aware?

I've played around with the groupinstall command in Yum 3.0.1.
My comps.xml group definition contains a 'ver' attribute:
[...]
<packagelist>
<packagereq type="mandatory" ver="1.23">mypackage</packagereq>
</packagelist
[...]
I've learned (from https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/pipermail/yum/2005-August/007192.html) that Yum always takes the latest available version. But what if the version given in <packagereq> is newer than any of the available packages? Well, Yum still takes the latest available version. After a quick glance at the Yum source code (especially comps.py), to me it seems as if the version-related attributes (namely 'epoch', 'ver' and 'rel') of the <packagereq> element are ignored. Is this true? And if so - why?
Thanks,
Holger
