Let's just hope nobody starts using tex version numbering and so on. Dates might be used in cases where upstream doesn't publish sane revisions (in fact, texlive versions are dates, albeit at the year level). I'm not saying this isn't a good idea, I just could see where it might crash into reality at some point. -- Rich
