Interestingly, the builds that use the Gecko/YYYYMMDD format don't follow the spec either. The spec says: GeckoVersion Date in the format YYYYMMDD. For official Mozilla builds, this will correspond to the date portion of the BuildID. For branded versions of Mozilla, the GeckoVersion should correspond to the date the code was pulled from mozilla.org, and may not necessarily correspond to the date portion of the generated BuildID. Actually, the GeckoVersion is *always* the date of the build. Which means if you build firefox 1.5 today, it will be Gecko/20060424, not Gecko/20051208.
