They should make the versions UUIDs instead of integers so that we don't make assumptions about their ordinal relationships.

Or maybe an abbreviated hash of the text of their specifications?

Yea, should have been V-00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000008 instead

Yes and no. They had to put the version identifier somewhere to avoid sorting problems or parsing problems, so I think that putting somewhat in the middle is a good tradeoff.
