As long as they get the version number from Conkeror, it will be whatever
Conkeror tells them. The version number from the bundle is only used by
MacOS system administration tools. For example, if you selec "About this Mac"
from the Apple menu and then click on "more info", you get the "System Profiler"
which has, among others, a section entitled "Software". There you see the
version numbers from the Info.plist.

But even there, "1.0pre" is shown correctly, so even Apple doesn't
seem to insist on their own numbering scheme. Which is rather good
news.

That's nothing compared to what Apple dictates to iPhone users.
