Please don't add underscores to the syntax -- they will cause problems with the filename escaping and parsing used today by setuptools and compatible tools, and will produce inconsistent comparisons between "rational" versions and the version schemes supported by setuptools.
Ideally, it would be best to keep PEP 386 versions a strict subset of setuptools-supported versions, to minimize migration difficulties.
