The difference, to me at least, is that project.xml is machine readable. That version number can end up in all sorts of places. My concern is distinguishing a genuine release from a development or nightly build.
In theory that's pretty easy, but in practice, someone always forgets. A nightly release is promoted into QA in order to test a fix for a bug, and then no one remembers when and where it came from. And then we go through a cycle of the gee it works for me game. Right now 'maven dist' builds 'commons-collections-2.1.jar', and packages it into 'commons-collections-2.1.tar.gz' and so forth.
