Paul I think has squarely ruled out option A there, but also I think opened the door on having OT-specific version numbers derived from but in an obviously different format to the real version number.

Using the full 32-bits is nice, but given the rounding to three decimal places for the string equivalent, we're going to lose bits at the far end.

If we could limit it to no component of the version number going higher than 99, we end up with the accurate, if bizarre:

"Version 70.601 (0.7.6.1)"

We'll call this Option D.
