Comparison is from left to right, and values are compared numerically; any group -not present is assumed to be zero. For example, '1.4' > '1.3.1', +not present is assumed to be zero.

The rules regarding the creation of new revisions of a property set are set in the section on immutability that follows. At least one revision
