Gee... Why version number cannot be split in three
fields? Anyway, if you think it's like a version
number, the way you proposed is better to programming
verify (if the "main" version is older (2000<2001) then
stops checking and say "it's older"). But I think
YYYY/MM/DD is somewhat non-trivial to write (and read).
Anyway, anything is good for me. I'm not an inexperienced
user, not will care if date is MM-DD-YYYY, DD-YYYY-MM or
YYYY-DD-MMM or anything else. But I agree with Pablo: using
dots are a lot better ... (^=
