Okay we _could_ map strings to an ordinal number (part of pragma?) and use the ordinal for sorting (use Mozilla scheme to calculate ordinal, if not specified) ... not that big of a deal coding wise ... it would make it possible to match any old versioning scheme, but I assume that humans might start having trouble telling which version is greater than another:)

or...we could also provide a scheme whereby the Configuration itself could provide a hook method for creating a MetacelloVersionNumber from the version string...using the Mozilla parsing scheme by default and always using the Mozilla sorting algorithm...
