In fact, that is what the specifications say. Our archetype editors should
use 0 when creating a new archetype.

(Knowledge Artefact Identification specifications)

.v0 rule: all archetypes have this version on initial creation, before being
accepted by the
collaborative authoring environment;

revision id rule: revision number starts at 0 and is incremented whenever a
backwards
compatible change is made that affects the structure ? by widening
constraints and/or adding
new nodes;

commit id rule: commit number starts at 0 and increments for any change at
all to an archetype,
including changes to meta-data, addition of translations and so on.

An archetype will start its life as a ?v0? artefact, and with no namespace.
In this form, it can have any
number of revisions and commits. It may be maintained for some time outside
a Publishing Organisation,
or it may be offered to a PO, where it will initially become part of an
?alpha? development area.
where it will remain until its identifier and location in the package and
Library structure is stablised.

Once stable, an alpha archetype will migrate to the main ?dev? area, where
it will be given a namespace
prefix and have its version incremented to ?v1?. At this point it could be
published into the
?release? area, or alternatively, further development may occur before
publishing. Whenever the revision
is changed, due to a backwards-compatible structural change, the archetype
should be re-published,
enabling the community to have access to the latest form of the archetype.

During development, each change will increment the commit number. Whenever
an archetype is published,
the commit number is reset to 0.
