Is there a suggested use of tagging a question with the same tag but with different version numbers?

For instance, if I want to tag my question with Xcode 5.1 should I use both the xcode and xcode5 tags or just xcode5?

Another example would be tagging with css and css3 for a CSS3 question. Is this redundant?

I would say that it depends.

You get a much larger audience by tagging both (as all those watching just CSS will see it). If it is not necessarily specific to a version, definitely tag both.

If it only applies to Xcode 5.1 and not to general Xcode than you should probably only tag the specific one.

That being said, I doubt you will hurt anyones feelings by tagging both, and I would do so myself if I wasn't sure if it was a version-specific question or not.
