There´s a little mistake in that example:
Branchnumbers (except Vendorbranchnumbers) are always even.
So it should be:

1.11
1.11.2.1       (the branchnumber is 2)
1.11.2.1.6.3   (the sub-branchnumber is 6)

for example.

Only on a vendorbranch you can have odd branchnumbers and revisionnumbers 
like 1.1.1.4.
