	[Florin Mateoc]  Frankly, I wouldn't mind at all to have '3' =
'3.0'. And no, the computer does not rule, we humans do, so I don't think we
should shy away from something that brings us a little closer to a semantic
interpretation. I definitely wouldn't take that collections rule as a dogma,
not with strings anyway.
