Also, the specs say: (emphasis mine)

version: String of up to 10 numbers that describes this revision. Revised form definitions must have alphabetically greater versions than previous ones. A common convention is to use strings of the form ‘yyyymmddrr’. For example, 2017021501 is the 1st revision from Feb 15th, 2017.

For example, ODK Aggregate parses the version string to a long integer and will fail to parse forms that include letters.

Should we say "numerically greater" instead of "alphabetically greater", to completely rule out any possible interpretation that leaves room for letters in the version?
