Hmmm, perhaps I'm a bit slow today, but I don't understand this: What the PvP 
on the Wiki describes is more or less numbering folklore, with the only 
exception that we use two places for the major number instead of one, which is 
more common. Following the principle of least surprise, I therefore consider 
the PvP as "carved in stone". The HP is just another package, so what can be 
adjusted?

Cheers,
   S.
