dotted-integer is technically wrong, too, since we're really talking
dotted-non-negative-integers

Or we could call them ISO 2145 versions

C.f.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_2145

Googling "dotted decimal",  "dot decimal" and "dotted integer" all
seem to give similar stuff.

But for what it's worth, perl56delta describes the new version
numbering scheme as "dotted integer".
