Yes, Ecma TC39 talked about this and the issue was not forcing a  
version step for marketing reasons, rather the lack of dotted edition  
numbers in Ecma standards -- which the TC39 Chair and Ecma Secretary- 
General agreed could be added easily. So the ES3.1 work is aiming to  
create ECMA-262 Edition 3.1, and ES4 the 4th Edition.
