CAP-12-e: CAP-VERSION Property

In looking at Tims proposal I noticed that CAP-VERSION is not properly 
described/defined.  12-e says:

   Description: This specifies the version of CAP that the endpoint
   supports. The list is a comma separated list of RFC numbers
   supported. The list MUST contain at least XXXX (NOTE 'XXXX' WILL BE
   REPLACED WITH THE RFC NUMBER OF THIS DOCUMENT).

   Formal Definition: The property is defined by the following notation:

   cap-version   = "CAP-VERSION" other-params ":" text CRLF

   Example: The following are examples of this property:

   CAP-VERSION:XXXX

1: Is there a reason CAP-VERSION is not defined like VERSION is in 
iCalendar?  That is, why it is not a numeric value or formatted like a 
numeric value?  It used to be last I checked on it back in CAP-09:

     CAP-VERSION        1     Version of CAP. It MUST include at least 
"1.0"
                              for this version of CAP. Like the "VERSION"
                              property, it may have a range. Uses the 
exact
                              same syntax as the "VERSION" property value.
                              The default is "1.0".

2: When did we say CAP-VERSION was to be the RFC number?  Is there any 
real use for that over using the numeric scheme like we did in iCalendar? 
If we do opt to stay with "text" then the last line there needs to have 
the same "(NOTE 'XXXX' WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE RFC NUMBER OF THIS 
DOCUMENT)." added to it to ensure the change is uniform.

3: In later examples we use numeric values ala VERSION.  For example, page 
112 has:

      L: CAP-VERSION:1.0

If we are avoiding using numeric values and go with RFC numbers then this 
example needs to be changed and flagged too for update on RFC number 
assignment.
