The normative text is what is not clear enough for me: "MUST be
managed" is not actionable.  The examples help.  I would be fine if
the normative language is removed while still mentioning that it is a
requirement:

  Mapping updates, and their corresponding Map Version Numbers have to be
  managed so that a very old version number will not be confused as a new
  version number (because of the circular numbering space). To this end...


Donald: is this ok with you?
