Peter:

Thanks for finding this inconsistency.  Tempting as it is to request a 
change to the NAPI, to make HDF5_Version become HDF5_version, a quick 
look through about a dozen example HDF5 files from various places tells 
me to change the rule in the NXDL (and thus the reference manual).

An advisory note will be added to the documentation about the atypical 
spelling.

Again, thanks,
    Pete
