:-P  I just *knew* that the moment I get stuck into this cool wiki script, there
would be a total rewrite coming along ... :-P

It sounds seriously awesome and totally exciting!

To me, the existing version looks&feels mature and stable enough to be
called 1.0 - so I would be happy to go with #1.
It would underline more clearly that the new PmWiki is very different not
just in feature set but core coding and backend (adding DB capability
etc.).
