  Hi, we area also looking at trying to find the best way of adding versioning to smart contracts. It seems that this is a big and far-reaching enough change that it would be good to use an approved methodology for implementing this... is there any official/semi-official/unofficial way of achieving this?

  I have till now seen the version number stored as a storage variable inside the contract. I have checked Wallet contract, which is packaged with Mist.

  Is the concern merely adding the version number or actually changing the contract once it's deployed? You can't actually change the code, but there are some designs that allow for a little bit of generically adding pieces. https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction-to-smart-contracts.html#delegatecall-callcode-and-libraries
