Yes Eric , but I would consider 3.0.2b a subversion of 3.0.2 and I would
think 3.0.2b < 3.0.3
I would correctly? assuem 3.0.2.b < 3.0.3.a of course, still I guess I'll go
with the 3.0.9 is followed by 3.0.10 and until all  dates are written in ISO
format so that I can string compare them I guess this should not really be
an issue ;)

The *only* practical solution is to use base 42 numbers!!!
