 * Is it permissable to use a date as a version in a package name?
 * Specifically, the character entity sets defined in the
 * ISO8879:1986 standard currently have the package name
 * iso8879-1.0.  Would iso8879-1986 be okay?  It is certainly more
 * meaningful than the arbitrary 1.0 version.

Absolutely.  That's one of the "recommended" ways in the handbook. :)
