Summary | 0005875: Non inuitive language edition strings

Description

Version 4.2.1 of Core Notation
"TTCN-3:2001" -version 1.1.2
"TTCN-3:2003" -version 2.2.1
"TTCN-3:2005" -version 3.1.1
"TTCN-3:2007" -version 3.2.1
"TTCN-3:2008" -version 3.3.2
"TTCN-3:2008 Amendment 1" -version 3.4.1
"TTCN-3:2009" -version 4.1.1
"TTCN-3:2010" -version present version
The string identifiers for the different versions are not very user friendly or intuitive. It would be easier to understand and more intuitive to use the core notation version number to avoid confusion.
E.g. If a module aligns to TTCN-3 V4.2.1 then use
the text "TTCN-3:4.2.1"
There can be no confusion. This removes any type of 'mental gymnastics' the developer needs to do and there is no need for him or her to refer back to the standard core notation standard to verify what version of TTCN-3 a given string maps to.
Why use "TTCN-3:2010" to identify version 4.2.1? (since version 4.2.1 is also
used and defined in 2011.

Using years or version no.s is a matter of taste, we should avoid using syntactical alternatives due to taste issues.
