Assigning identifiers with no organization

["Barker, Sean (UK)" <sean.barker@baesystems.com>]

In assigning a version number, it is normally assumed that the item
being versioned provides the context information (i.e. that the version
number is effectively the second part of a compound key, the first part
of which is the item number). Assigning version numbers should therefore
use the template for assigning an identifier without an organization,
and logically this template should be migrated to the assigning
identifiers capability, rather than be in the assigning organization
capability. Comments?

Additional Observations

Question to Business users: I have made the assumption that where
multiple identifiers are applied to the same item, these do not
independently define version numbers. Is this true?
