Semantic versioning is about a consistent concept of version handling. And that concept of consistency should be in a forms of the version - be it text string or numberic.
That you see them as two somewhat independent concepts isn't something I support or thing makes sense at all. Our users code checks version information using the integer representation and it should be in semantic form as such - i.e. the pure numeric parts of the semantic version. This is the major point I've been trying to get across. Semantic versioning isn't about just one identifier in text format - it is about how you handle versioning in general. And consistency is its purpose. Tim.
