If anything, they would go up to 10.4.9.1 (wow that's long.)
You really can't go to a two-digit number unless there's a point after it, so I would think they might even jump straight to 10.4.10.1
BZZZZZZZZZZT. Here we go again.
When was the last time you saw a decimal number with *two* decimal points?
ie, these are not decimal numbers.
ie, the whole "two-digits must need a point after it" is bogus.
ie, 10.4.10 is a perfectly valid build number and *is* the version after 10.4.9.
The points are just delimiters, they are *not* decimal points. You could just as easily write it 10-4-9 and it would be just as valid: Major build-minor build-patch build.
I cannot believe that the argumentation about the update numbering scheme still goes this strong.
Of course, if Apple feels that there are so significant changes needed for Tiger, it will do it no matter what the name will be. But something tells me that with the already announced delay, Apple will not risk to further postpone Leopard by spending time on updating once more Tiger.

Now there's some interesting logic.
(WTF?)
Doubt it.

but that would indicate a smaller update than 10.4.10--like iTunes 7.1.1

I'll bet you $63.42 it'll be 10.4.10.
OK, why $63.42
Nono. Obviously, the version after 10.4.9 is 10.4.ELEVEN.
All our software goes to 11.

Given the four month pushback, will there be another update package ?
I have told me there will be one.
My money is on minor bug fixes included in Security updates...no 10.4.10
There are still plenty of bugs to fix in 10.4, therefore there will be a 10.4.10 and probably also a 10.4.11 until october.
