The version number is there for a reason. Namely, GFDL requires that
"derivative document" must have a different title than that of the
original document. Thus, if the document title is just "gedit Manual",
no one but the original author can make modifications and release
under the title "gedit Manual". Having version number as part of title
bypasses this problem.
