I don't want to define heuristics in the recommendation.

Belt and suspenders.  It might be mistaken for a number.  Written as
"v1.23.0" it's more obvious that it's a version tuple.  And if someone
leaves off or strips the "v" for some reason, it's still clearly a
tuple and a liberal parser can deal with it without heuristics.
