This is exactly the reason I think that 1-1 ... 1-11 is clearer (you're right, colon is unworkable because it cannot go in NTFS file names). From an educational standpoint, 1.10 is teaching kids the wrong ideas about the decimal system. I do not think that hyphens are impractical. In most cases people will get it right the first time by following examples. Those who don't will quickly learn from installation warnings. I think anything from 1-3 levels should be allowed, and that 3 == 3-0 == 3-0-0. Leading zeroes should cause warnings - that will mostly keep things from looking like dates (even in 2010, bugfix 10 should be rare).
