My 2 cents worth:
BSD uses numbers; e.g., 4.2.1, 10.0 Release #0
SUN-OS used numbers
The kernel uses number with appending text. For example, my current
Debian Wheezy kernel is 3.4.105-WMM.default

So, for any system that maintains its version Via an RCS like coding, I
would suggest something like
Dng.x.y.z-keyname
where keyname is an indication or purpose. For example, PAE-beta or
PAE-default.
