I believe that we would be better off numbering our standards and
their versions the same way other standards organizations do. Our readers
are likely to be familiar with existing practices.

Remember the context. This is a part number for an IC. Hardware
engineers are used to the idea that a 74HC161A is an upgraded 74HC161.
Also, variable parameters such as temperature range are traditionally coded
at a particular character position in a fixed-length string. To avoid
causing confusion and having to constantly explain ourselves, we should
follow practices traditional in the field wherever there is no compelling
reason to do otherwise.

Please do. I'm not familiar with this item, but you know what it
is.
