But why should they? As a number, 2.1 and 2.10 are the same thing (except for 
implied precision). And I can see possible confusion there.

But 2.1.0 and 2.10.0 are not valid numbers. Is the 1 and 10 right of the 
decimal point and the same? Or are they left of the decimal point and 
different? Uh, both. Or maybe neither. Because 2.1.0 and 2.10.0 aren't numbers. 
Rather, they're three separate numbers using dots as separators rather than as 
a decimal point.

No doubt no matter what you do, some people will get confused. So stick with 
what we have which fits with much other software.
