NIST PubID scheme: Does not support minor version numbers in revision

According to the final NIST PubID scheme:

If an existing publication indicates it’s a “version”, its PubID should use the “revision” .

According to 2.1.5 “Edition”, it says: “ If an existing publication indicates it’s a “version”, its PubID should use the “revision”. “

And the grammar is:

<edition> = <edition-type><edition-id>
<edition-type> = ′′-′′ | ′′e′′ | ′′r′′
<edition-id>= {1-9}|yyyy

Notice that the allows values for <edition-id> are either 1-9 or yyyy.

The following identifiers use “version”, but their version numbers do not fit the allowed <edition-id> pattern. (This is just a selection)

NIST SP 1011-II-2.0 https://pages.nist.gov/NIST-Tech-Pubs/SP.html Title: Autonomy Levels For Unmanned Systems (ALFUS) framework, volume I : terminology version 2.1 Date Published: 2008 Authors: Hui-Min Huang Report Number: NIST SP 1011-I-2.0 doi:10.6028/NIST.SP.1011-I-2.0
- “2.0” does not fit <edition-id>
NIST SP 500-268v1.1 https://pages.nist.gov/NIST-Tech-Pubs/SP500.html Title: Source code security analysis tool functional specification version 1.1 Date Published: 2011 Authors: Paul E Black, Michael Kass, Michael Koo, Elizabeth Fong Report Number: NIST SP 500-268v1.1 doi:10.6028/NIST.SP.500-268v1.1
- “1.1” does not fit <edition-id>
NIST SP 500-281-v1.0 https://pages.nist.gov/NIST-Tech-Pubs/SP500.html Title: USGv6 testing program user's guide-version 1.0 (December 2009)-draft Date Published: 2009 Authors: Stephen Nightingale, Doug Montgomery Report Number: NIST SP 500-281-v1.0 doi:10.6028/NIST.SP.500-281-v1.0
- “1.0” does not fit <edition-id>
NIST SP 800-63v1.0.1 https://pages.nist.gov/NIST-Tech-Pubs/SP800.html Title: Electronic authentication guideline Date Published: 2004 Authors: W E Burr, D F Dodson, W T Polk Report Number: NIST SP 800-63v1.0.1 doi:10.6028/NIST.SP.800-63v1.0.1
- "1.0.1" does not fit <edition-id>
NIST SP 800-63v1.0.2 https://pages.nist.gov/NIST-Tech-Pubs/SP800.html Title: Electronic authentication guideline Date Published: 2006 Authors: W E Burr, D F Dodson, W T Polk Report Number: NIST SP 800-63v1.0.2 doi:10.6028/NIST.SP.800-63v1.0.2
- "1.0.2" does not fit <edition-id>
NIST SP 800-60 Ver. 2.0 https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/SP/nistspecialpublication800-60ver2v2.pdf
- “2.0" does not fit <edition-id>

Some of these versions are just major versions (e.g. “1.0”, “2.0”), we could replace them with just “1” and “2”.

However, the version strings of “1.1”, “1.0.2”, “2.1" will need further accommodation.
