 Permissions might also help to limit damage

+One to four dot-separated integers

+Examples:

+The autoupdate system compares versions
+to determine whether an installed extension
+needs to be updated.
+If the published extension has a newer version string
+than the installed extension,
+then the extension is automatically updated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The comparison starts with the leftmost integers.
+If those integers are equal,
+the integers to the right are compared,
+and so on.
+For example, 1.2.0 is a newer version than 1.1.9.99999.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A missing integer is equal to zero.
+For example, 1.1.9.99999 is newer than 1.1.
