I would hazard a guess that it was something adopted from the software industry where major new software versions are identified by a numeral left of the decimal point. minor versions of the software to the right. new software not approved for release ie ratified are expressed as 0.n<br>

<br>I suspect that with the advent and use of word processing software in the development/drafting of documents that this type of numbering scheme was adopted to keep track of the various drafts aka versions.<br><br>just speculating before tomorrow&#39;s celebrations begin<br>
