Hello Dave

You definitely have my approval to include my proposal in the Contributors 
Guide, that is if it gets approval.

The reason why I have used two digit for the version number is to allow for 
sorting in computer systems. You cannot relay on the the creation or modify 
dates for sorting because we do not know how volunteers’ computers are setup.

Regard
