It's cute, but 014.01 vs. 014.10 is another a source of confusion. The leading 0 in "01" makes it look like a decimal fraction, by which logic the trailing zero in "10" could be cut, and then there would be people saying "fourteen dot one" when they mean "014.10". If there has to be an "unconventional" numbering system of some sort, let's just stick with octal, like Paul Dann suggested. Given that dots in version numbers are not usually fractional separators, numbering could also go like this: 014.01, 014.02, ... 014.07, 014,010. (The 014.01 vs. 014.010 confusion is unlikely to happen as we're not supposed to have this many releases.)
