how does this sound:

sane 1.0.19- release in Feb, last of the standard 1.0 versions, remove
SANE_FRAME_JPEG.

sane 1.1.0- release in May?, first of the standard 1.1 versions, no
new function calls, only more well-known options and frame types, old
backends need no changes, other than required well-known options.

sane 2.0.0- first of standard 2.0 versions, new function calls, etc.

given the backwards compatibility of standard 1.1, i dont think there
is a need for sane 1.0.20.
