Both true.  And both problems today.  We won't have the TOPS-20
version numbering where you'd have numbers like
	5.0(123)
	5.1(345)
	5.2(9534)
	6.0(23)

Also, I don't see a functional difference between DATE-NUMBER and just
NUMBER,  especially since it isn't in the CVS tree.  However, a GMT
date down to the second as a change number id, then that would make
checking out from CVS to that point possible.
