I can live with this approach, though if we go this way, I would have a
strong preference for 4, as the minimum change that gets us clear of the
SSL version numbers.

That said, I still think 1.3 is the most sensible option.  Regardless of
what we do here, we're still going to have to struggle with "N > 1.2 > 1.1
> 1.0 > 3.0" for a long time.  The only decision we've got here is which
additional exasperating conversation we want to have in the future, "Yes, N
is the one that comes after 1.2", or "Yes, 1.3 > 3.0".  Might as well stick
with the one we've been having all along anyway.
