Like many more advanced Maven scenarios, the documentation is sketchy at best.  
Here is an example version rules xml file

<ruleset comparisonMethod="maven"
             xmlns="http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/rule/2.0.0"; 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
                      
xsi:schemaLocation="http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/rule/2.0.0 
http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/xsd/rule-2.0.0.xsd";>
    <rules>
        <rule groupId="com.foo.bar" comparisonMethod="mercury"/>
        <rule groupId="foo.xyz" comparisonMethod="maven"/>
   </rules>
</ruleset>

Is there documentation on the mercury scheme ?  I tried following the link at 
http://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/version-rules.html, but that just 
gives me a "Page Not Found".
