I think it's irrelevant. The versioning style is an author thing. We
could use CVS version numbers also... But we could keep our own
version numbering besides it. Or we could have no version number and
just rely on the date. "In Feb, 16 2001, this document was converted
to DocBook from the Nov, 17 2000, version". This is also a nice
changelog. ;-)
See you,
