Why is the value of @version a number?

Hi,

I just stumbled upon the fact that @version has to be a number in 
json-ld 1.1 contexts. Is there any reason why this is not a string?
I guess it shouldn't ever happen that a spec is released as patch 
version, and there will probably not be more than eight more versions 
with nonbreaking changes to the spec, so a decimal number might suffice, 
but I'm still a little bit puzzled.

Best regards,
Lutz
