I think this versioning has potential to be confusing, and the omission of <version/> below doesn't actually do that - though it is probably possible with a version of (,) that includes everything.
Personally, I'd prefer to have: servlet-api-2.4 servlet-api-2.4-1 servlet-api-2.4-2 or similar. (Technically, the last "build number" is used for rebuilding the same source code, not patching, but I think the alternative of 2.4.x creates some more confusion and the above will work as intended). Ideally, once 2.4 is compliant you don't need to release it again anyway :) Perhaps when we have proper spec-dependency handling in Maven it might be less confusing to use the geronimo-spec version number instead of the spec number.
