FWIW, I actually agree with Jeanne's first opinion. :-)
That is, I think of "5" as "5.*". "5.0" as "5.0.*", etc.
Regarding the use of floating points to represent versions... I was
wondering whether we should avoid this since it would prevents us from
supporting "major.minor.reallyminor" version strings. I don't know
that we will ever need to go further than major.minor, though the
Gecko versions use the third digit, so perhaps we should pick a
solution that doesn't preclude us from supporting this?
(BTW, sorry all about my little digression earlier on the thread...)
