Well the problem comes up in versions like '1.0.0.Draft-7plus', which
was Draft-7 + some stuff we had just discussed in the EG. Or what
about cases where we are combining work from a few drafts? All in all,
its not great.
What I was thinking instead is to use Alpha/Beta/CR and in the Jira
notes for that release discuss what is covered. That is much easier to
convey in text (Beta4 includes updates in Draft 7 of the spec, plus
additional updates for schema generation discussed in the EG that will
make their way into Draft 8...) than it is in a concise version name
imo.
And yes I have discussed this Andy so that we can be consistent across
all spec api jars.

+1 I prefer this scheme as well

how do you know how many releases there are of each type and when to switch?
Is that an arbitrary choice? Personally I had not problems with the Draft naming
scheme, but if you think this is better.
