I really have a hard time believing that all of 'auto.WP', '1303_02', 'patch', '0.1.54.1' and '0x36' are all significant. No-one else seems to need more than 4 components in a version number; what's so special about this firmware? And another question: can an outside observer compare version strings and get any sense of which is newer? Are the components in the right order (most significant first)?
