FWIW, I actually agree with Jeanne's first opinion. :-)

That is, I think of "5" as "5.*".  "5.0" as "5.0.*", etc.

Regarding the use of floating points to represent versions...  I was
wondering whether we should avoid this since it would prevents us from
supporting "major.minor.reallyminor" version strings.  I don't know
that we will ever need to go further than major.minor, though the
Gecko versions use the third digit, so perhaps we should pick a
solution that doesn't preclude us from supporting this?

(BTW, sorry all about my little digression earlier on the thread...)
