Yes, it would be nice to have more definitive info about the
differences between the different versions. I do know that 3.2.X (and
I assume 3.3.X) implements the 2.2 spec and 4.0.X implements the 2.3
spec, and it sounds like 3.2.X is a little more ready for prime time,
but beyond that, I'm not really sure (and I gather things are changing
every day).
