You could, yes. But using the same version numbering in Mozilla and
Netscape 6 would be problematic.
Netscape marketing does what it wants with version numbers anyway. That
leaves mozilla.org who choices:
1) using different version numbering
2) letting the marketing dept. of one notable contributor decide about
Mozilla version numbering while giving other contributors a bad
impression about the Netscape-mozilla.org relationship.
(Whatever the version number, the UA string needs to begin with
"Mozilla/" followed by a digit grater than 4.)
