Well, I suppose if you have really strict and well-enforced rules on
when a version= gets incrememnted, this would work too. The advantage
of my translationOfVersion= attribute is that it makes clear that
making an improvement to the translation does not mean you change the
attribute value; you only change the attribute value when you've
changed the content to be a translation of a different source string,
albeit perhaps only slightly different.
