Sounds OK, as long as we don't do sub-decimals,
and or alphabetic characters, like 5.1a...

Good catch, Radek!

Subject: [ibis-editorial] Issue on IBIS 5.1 AMI_Version type

Thanks to Radek Biernacki for spotting this: AMI_Version is defined as Type 
String, but we require that it accept values of "5.1" or greater.  "Greater" is 
meaningless if this is a string, so this is unenforceable.

I would recommend changing this to Float, assuming that we will not be defining 
sub-decimal version numbers (5.1.2, for example).

Comments?  Objections?  This will be raised at tomorrow's Open Forum 
teleconference.
