Not having leading or trailing zeroes in the fractional part means that they can't be suppressed by anything that might try to canonicalise version numbers. + +Inspiration from a cycle ride: sticking the year in the version number +would make it easier to see how old a release is. 3.YYn for the nth +release in 20YY seems good.
