IIRC, but not entirely sure, the order of items in XML is not guaranteed.
So you'd need something like 
<versionlist><item seq="1">8</item><item seq="2">2</item> etc etc

I'm not sure, but I have some kind of memory of that ;-)


As for beta, we're only going to be listing production versions in this
one. It's there to list the latest available version in each released
series.
And if we add another dot, we can just add a v4="7" attribute. Adding is
not a problem, only modifying.
