I don't care much about this version number issue, but I do think respecting some notion of "ownership" is an important thing. Given that the i-team in Beijing has requested this and they "own" this driver, I'd suggest we let them keep it (and "hold our noses":) Are you guys OK with letting the i-team have their way? We can always take out that version string later... Thanks, Gordon
