Well, if this is a democracy, of sorts, I'll stick my neck out and vote to stick with a release-703, or official-703, kind'a format. I just really, really dislike dates floating into version naming (and even worse product naming - where the goal is to make you feel out of date in time for the next hard sell). Also avoids all that, "so whose calendar format/locale are we going to use in the name", "what's so magical about the end of a year that we get a whole new number to release", and "so what specific release version number did go out in the April-2008 build?"
