(Sorry for msihap; I had several tabs open in my browser and didn't fully check
which link I pasted. It's a shame we can't edit comments here.)

(In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #4)

This is a valuable suggestion. Depending on whether you consider this report is
a bug (due to the inconsistencies in behaviour) or a feature request (implying
a reimplementation of the feature), this could be included by providing a clear
specification. If you go into this direction, include also a customisation for
the "inner" separator(s) which is presently hard-coded at dot. I think for
consistency reason that a single "inner" separator should be specified, i.e.
1.1.1.1 as of today or 1-1-1-1 as found is some books but not 1.1-1+1 as this
is ugly and difficult to read (I don't think I have ever seen such a numbering)
not speaking of the nightmare to implement.
