Quote from the README.md:

The specification version will be managed by GitHub tags with the form “v1.0.0” in this specification repository.

Currently we don't have any tags in the repo, I propose to create v1.0.0 and v1.1.0 tags

RFE -- Provide additional metadata for CNI plugins

For virtual deployments where the underlying infrastructure is providing networking resources, it is desirable to convey infrastructure network information to pods. For example, if the underlying infrastructure networks have UUIDs and/or names, that information could be supplied to the pods for additional verification and resource discovery. In addition, some infrastructures (OpenStack) provide the ability to tag individual virtual interfaces with general text that can be used inside the pod.

Perhaps a top-level tag metadata that allows including additional infrastructure specific metadata...

{
   "type":"pci",
   "version":"1.0.0",
   "pci":{
      "pci-address":"0000:01:02.2",
      "pf-pci-address":"0000:01:02.0"
   },
   "metadata":{
      "infra":"OpenStack",
      "metadata":{
         "networkID":"<UUID>",
         "networkTags":[
            "tag1",
            "tag2"
         ]
      }
   }
}```
