That (y’all agreed we cannot wholesale adopt SemVer) would be good to hear — but it would mean there is an error in the notes document, which says the opposite: “VF2F subgroup thinks that it is appropriate to say that a TEI version number follows the Semantic Versioning Specification.” Possibly the word “not” is just missing?

I'm pretty sure we said precisely what you just said, that we can't wholesale adopt SemVer, but we can use something similar to and inspired by it.
