Well...certainly any version scheme is adequate as long as everyone  
follows it accordingly which is the main concern in my eyes. Having  
said that, why not use the (common) version scheme open source  
projects tend to use. A good example (as well as description) can be  
found on the Apache APR site (http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html).
