It's cute, but 014.01 vs. 014.10 is another a source of confusion. The leading 
0 in "01" makes it look like a decimal fraction, by which logic the trailing 
zero in "10" could be cut, and then there would be people saying "fourteen dot 
one" when they mean "014.10". If there has to be an "unconventional" numbering 
system of some sort, let's just stick with octal, like Paul Dann suggested. 
Given that dots in version numbers are not usually fractional separators, 
numbering could also go like this: 014.01, 014.02, ... 014.07, 014,010. (The 
014.01 vs. 014.010 confusion is unlikely to happen as we're not supposed to 
have this many releases.)
