I like this approach too.  Very nice :)
Especially the idea of incrementing subrel to a round number before handing to QA.
And if QA finds a problem, we could revert to the decimal increment sequence until fixed, before 
incrementing to a round number for QA again.
(The same round number, or would it be better to use the next ?)
