It seems sensible to me and, if nothing else, it provides a very useful reference for understanding what the different versions are and, importantly, what they look like. I think the only issue might be that L3.2 and B3.2 (when it's released) will be virtually identical, whereas T3.2 will have some differences and this might cause a little confusion since the version numbers are the same. Personally I don't think it will be a problem and all 3.x versions currently share the same Liberate version, so it's useful to group them together.

Out of curiosity, my STB reports its EPG version as iEPG 4.0 b45. Presumably this number is somehow independant of the CR number used by ntl: (otherwise it would be 3.0 b45 wouldn't it?), so I wonder how consistent these numbers are across the different platforms.
