 We recommended that you specify a `maxLedgerVersion` so that you can quickly determine that a failed transaction will never succeeed in the future. It is impossible for a transaction to succeed after the network ledger version exceeds the transaction's `maxLedgerVersion`. If you omit `maxLedgerVersion`, the "prepare*" method automatically supplies a `maxLedgerVersion` equal to the current ledger plus 3, which it includes in the return value from the "prepare*" method.
