It's hard to predict how the HDMI committee will assign version numbers
in the future, but...

In the EDID structure that HDMI devices use for identification, the major.minor
version number is encoded as two bytes, one for major and one for minor, thus
it is conceivable that the minor could exceed 9.  (reference CEA-861-D section
A.2.5 or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data#EDID_1.3_data_format

The EDID version number is not the same as the HDMI version number, but I expect
that the committees share people and thus ways of doing things.

I think it would be safer to encode the version number as (major<<8) | minor.
