My concern is that the attribute names imply that the constructs are only useful for OS versioning. I think this is likely to be useful for any large system; perhaps different names should be chosen? You may also want an attribute that allows specific version labels (NMTOKENS instead of NMTOKEN); perhaps "versionequal" should be "versionin"? -Fred -- Fred L.
