Do they realise the numbers aren't assigned by merit?

There's no single way to number versions. Open source projects often have x.y.z numbering, where increasing x denotes breaking compatibility with previous versions, raising y denotes an increase in features, and raising z denotes a bugfix or minor feature increase. Commercial projects often forgo the y and z values. The Mozilla foundation probably thought they made such improvements to warrant a major release(x), but didn't break compatibility, so they just went for an unusual increase in y.

For fear of repeating myself (as per my comment on safari 4 report), from my understanding Safari has always been WebKit. Webkit was apple's extension of KHTML, and they then opensourced it.

Feel free to correct me if I'm off the mark.

haim - you're totally right, Safari has always been Webkit... And Apple do the vast, vast majority of the development work with Webkit. I too commented with this correction on the Safari 4 article, however my comment never got to see the light of day :(
