see
http://www.slideshare.net/pvanderlei/osgi-versioning-and-testing slide 10.
OSGI is major.minor.micro.qualifier
and it also defines what kind of things that breaks.
First half of the presentation is not OSGI specific and just outlines good practices and
how OSGI captures it.
Second half is osgi/eclipse specific concerning the tools that are available for it
which doesn't really apply since forge aren't using osgi.
But an interesting read ;)

It's a form of Major.Minor.Micro.Qualifier - with qualifiers sorted
lexicographically.
Re: compatibility/versioning, I think that another set of rule you may want to take into
account is:
