One cannot tell the version of sanc other than if you are in control of the server running the sanc? I thought DIP3 the owner and operator could be separate parties. Surely one should be able to verify that information?
Also in the classic, when a sanc was on a different chain or offline, watchman would cause it to appear in a state other than ENABLED.
I still do not know how PoSE works on DIP3 sancs? Previously they were reported enabled when the servers were off. Then they began to be PoSE banned even though as far as i could tell they were on the same chain. Now even though the 2 sancs were clearly on a different chain, they appeared ENABLED when checked from the sanc on the main testchain.

-> No, the only info available to a deterministic viewer, are the fields in 'masternode status' that you see on your own sanc. Governance protoversion is not one.

-> Yes, classic version used pings, and each node kept track of its own status, but in DM, they do not use pings, so all of those fields have been removed.

-> You can be POSE banned in DM whether on the right chain or not, as now, POSE works by checking to see if your BLS key signed the current rounds quorum. So imagine if us three create a secret club, with a seed number, only us 3 can sign with the BLS key and only the insiders will succeed in continuing that quorum for chainlocks. So POSE is saying: I will not ban you if you can continue creating good quorums, one per frequency (I think these are roughly one per hour, actually there are 3 frequencies, but for all intents and purposes its about every 7 blocks).
Yeah, I checked also and we cant ban by proto version, but we can kick the sanc out of the quorum, and also offline if they dont have the min protoversion so Im going to go to this method next.
