So do I read this correctly that for #3, 8 means 8.x so a max-version
of 8 means any browser agent with a major version of 8 or less an not
even look at the minor version?
I'm proposing that the version feature reflect the best floating point
version number we can calculate for the browser, which will usually be
a combination of the major and minor version, so the version for IE 5.5
will be the floating point number 5.5
Does anybody KNOW how the browsers express their version exactly?
Because TrinidadAgent currently only has majorVersion and agentVersion
(the latter being an unparsed string).
I will have to parse that agentVersion to also get out the minor
version.
Does anybody know why this wasn't done initially? (any reason like too
different between the browsers?)
I can't remember why I wrote the code the way I did 12 years ago, but
assuming that I was lazy and didn't think that it probably mattered
that much at the time is probably a good bet.

8 is promoted to 8.0 and since max- means
less-than-or-equal-to:max-version:8 means
version <= 8.0 == true
