In my code, the current date will be used (for the internal version) if no revision clauses are provided. Obviously, the '1-release-per-day' limitation might be a problem for some vendors, so full dateTime will be needed (yuch!) The more we try to do with this string, the harder it will be to standardize as 'mandatory'. The first order problem I want to solve is a standard mechanism for distinguishing between multiple versions of the same module. The solution should not add any significant burden to implementors, especially those which choose to use the 'default' version ID, derived from the module or current date, etc. > 2) How about we do the inverse of normal SMIv2 modules and optimize for > the reader...

I would like to reserve the 'bottom' for the granular conformance specification that is missing from YANG.
