This breaks (a) above. There's a lot to be gained by using dates and not a lot of down side. Being able to look at the revision history and see when what happened, how stable a module is, and how likely folks are to be up-to-date with the latest version is important. And it avoids tons of discussion about whether we need two or three decimal numbers and when the major or minor version should change. It's simple, obvious, sortable, well-defined, and will last for thousands of years.
