Great stuff, look forward to playing with it. :)

It's not significant at all - all it's used for is making the menu  
human-readable (so the user knows they're reverting to the version of  
2007-11-13, rather than just "version 3"). If we move to the more  
verbose API format, Potlatch can happily snip that into something - to  
use a seemingly voguish word - more sane.
