No we don't have to explain it. Most of the world isn't OCD types like those of us in this field. > Once SSL 3.0 falls away, we'll be left with 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3, which is > a plausible numbering progression.

Once SSL 3.0 falls away, the industry will still be calling the protocol SSL. Except now the common name and the real name have no relationship. And also, the world will not care about a gap in numbering. Nobody cared that there was no Windows 9.
