Oh, this was not intended as a full proposal: too heavy-handed for
that.  I agree that the version number makes sense: it tells the
insiders what version was used and whether recompilation of the source
(wherever one may find it) might be a good idea.

And it tells the non-insiders that this is talking about a piece of
software rather than a publishing house, without getting
language-dependent for that.  Pretty good deal for a few numbers.
