	I think there is no problem. Most people do understand that 0.9.30 and 0.9.3 
different things. Chopping off the last 0 isn't intuitive at all. This is the 
same as replacing amount of something with value of 10 times smaller: 3 
apples instead of 30 for example!
	So my opinion that there is no problem at all. This is mostly problem of some 
people that don't understand simple things. I think it is very clear that if 
we have "0" in version number then it is important. And also - it actually 
have very intuitive meaning! 
	BTW, 90% of versions doesn't contain zeros in the version number.
