Yes, if the mistake should be fixed for OOo 3.3, it should of course be 
fixed by reverting the symbol version name from UDK_3_0_0 back to 
UDK_3.1, not by changing the library's SONAME.

If the mistake should not be fixed for OOo 3.3:  I would argue that it 
is best to keep the symbol version name as UDK_3_0_0 for post 3.3 (as it 
simplifies solenv/bin/addsym.awk and keeps compatibility with OOo 3.3). 
  An open question would then be whether or not to change SONAME for 
post 3.3.  Changing it would probably be cleaner, but not changing it 
would avoid a needless, artificial incompatibility between 3.3 and post 3.3.
