I agree that it's best to seek consensus on the naming of the new 
version and to evaluate different possibilities. I indeed liked the 
1.0.1 Version but would also happy to call it a second edition. I am 
really reluctant to support the "1.1" version number. If you look at 
other W3C specs (e.g. CSS 2 -> CSS 2.1 or XML Schema 1.0 -> XML Schema 
1.1) the change from 1.0 to 1.1 does not reflect the difference between 
IMSC 1 and IMSC 1.next. I think it is great that we show flexibility to 
integrate two late coming requirements from the market to widen the 
adoption of IMSC 1. But if a labelling of the new version would give the 
impression that this is major change than this could be counter productive.

As I understand Glenn's concern the 1.0.1 version number would be quite 
uncommon for a W3C spec. I can understand this argument. But possibly we 
can get some information what W3C version policy would allow (so 
agreeing with Glenn's proposal to ask Thierry to check our options).

Best regards,

Andreas
