MessageId version format does not comply with the spec.

Is this the right place to submit this?

Bug Description

Hello,

The "9.5.11.2 MessageId format" section of the spec (https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0266_1.21.0.pdf) describes message id format as:
"..."

However, the current implementation does not follow this format, and instead uses 3 component version like in this case:
"MessageId": "Base.1.19.0.QueryParameterOutOfRange".

My understanding is, the version comes from the registry version (https://github.com/openbmc/bmcweb/blob/master/scripts/parse_registries.py#L247) as it is, without converting format.

Before actually starting to do anything on this front, I want to learn whether it was a deliberate decision, and what would be the blast radius of changing this to comply with the spec (i.e. removing the 3rd part of the version).

Version

ID=openbmc-fb-lf
NAME="Facebook OpenBMC"
VERSION="yosemite4-v2024.41.1"
VERSION_ID=yosemite4-v2024.41.1
VERSION_CODENAME="master"
PRETTY_NAME="Facebook OpenBMC yosemite4-v2024.41.1"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:openembedded:openbmc-fb-lf:yosemite4-v2024.41.1"
OPENBMC_TARGET_MACHINE="yosemite4"
EXTENDED_VERSION="yosemite4-v2024.41.1"
