I don't really want to change them (ie the work)... but I feel very strong about getting rid of that version muck in the artifactId.

Ya, seems weird at first, but I was just mapping David's example, which was for a SNAPSHOT ;-)

I think we should reconsider the convention.  And use the artifacts
version to contain *all* of the version information.  Since the
current convention's version is mostly irrelevant anyways, I suggest
that we use the spec's version + revision number (counter) as the
version.

That makes the above look like:

     artfifactId=geronimo-javaee-deployment-spec
     groupId=org.apache.geronimo.specs
     version=1.1MR3-1-SNAPSHOT

And when released the version would be:

     version=1.1MR3-1

This indicates the spec version and a revision count for how many
update/iterations we have applied to it.  When its time to make a new
revision then we'd have:

     version=1.1MR3-2

And when the spec version changes to say 1.2, then we'd have:

     version=1.2-1

IMO this is *much* more natural and allows us to use the Maven
dependencyManagement section to manage all version information
effectively for child modules.
