Besides the comments Dave Katz made, which seem to make sense to me,
if this is for experimental protocol, one could choose any number but
four, I guess. How about version one? How much of a conflict would
there be? Besides, experiments should be first demonstrated in a
private sandbox anyway, where the version number won't matter much.

Or Jon could assign some version number for "any experimental version."

Besides that, I agree with Dave Crocker in that SIPers/IPAEers are
politizising by getting a formal number assignment out of a sparse
space earlyon. And trying to win PR battles with immediate announcements,
as was just demonstrated yesterday.
