What about just 0.50, if 0.5 doesn't work? We would come to that anyway soon enough.
Well, remember what happened when we did 0.30 and 0.40; users shortened it to 0.3 and 0.4, which was annoying to us and led to some confusion. I recall even some printed articles made the mistake.
I like 0.50 as a nice round number, but if we're going to jump version numbers anyway, why jump to a version number that's going to incur an extra degree of confusion in addition to the jump itself, if we can avoid it up front?
Version 0.9 sounds like a release from a project that just recently got started, and hasn't really been exposed to much user testing. 0.91 sounds like something from a serious project that's been around a few years. :-)

@Guillermo - Version numbers aren't decimals. The period separates major & minor release identifiers. i.e., "0.9" is "major = 0, minor = 9", so it is lower than the current "major = 0, minor = 48" releases. 0.91 was suggested instead of 0.90 to avoid this possible confusion.
I understand, but notice how users (like me, for instance) read it :-)
For regular people used to decimals, 0.5 is halfway to 1, and 0.5 is more than 0.48.
Anyway, I get it and what Krzysztof pointed out about package managers makes my entire point moot.
Just wanted to comment about a potential communication issue with users. From this side, jumping from 0.49 to 0.91 is... wtf :.p
