i think "1.x" will continue to have the same level of confusion regardless of the numeration construct. how about:
"XACML v1.0, Specification Candidate 1 (2,3,4)"
or
"XACML v1.0, Editorial Version 1 (2,3,4)"
this way the spec 'version' never changes, just the editorial numbering (which will be discarded once submitted and approved).
