Hi,

It has been over a year since the following wiki page has been updated.

http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=es3.1:relationship_with_the_es4_specification

Has there been any resolution about how the es3.1 specification will
be officially named?

Given that

1) es4 intends to be capable of running es3 programs

2) es3.1 intended to be a stepping stone directly on the path from es3 to es4

it seems to make sense that es3.1 would officially be "ECMA-262
revision 4" and then es4 would be "ECMA-262 revision 5".

Peter
