The extensions rarely expose internal API, some certainly do offer a
few PHPAPI functions, but that's more an exception then the rule. As
far as the user functionality, you raise a good point, but many core
extensions rarely change to warrant a new version token on every
release.

That is what $Revision$ CVS tag does, version number is totally
different thing IMO.
Sorry, but I disagree on this one. You might either think that an
extension "version" defines either its api as accessible by the php
kernel or as accessible by the php coder, but that's exactly what
version numbers are used for.
The cvs tag is for people that compile from source and have to
report an error against a a specific version.
