I did find <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pmcdoc/tagging-guidelines/citations/v3/programs.html>, but it looks like the recommendations haven't been updated for about 10 years, as it only covers "Computer Programs on CD-ROM, DTD [sic], or Disk". The most suitable example there puts the version and OS information in "<edition>PC 1.1a version</edition>", which seems like a reasonable compromise. Perhaps it's time to add a <version> element to <element-citation>, which may refer to a specfic version number (or branch name, commit hash, etc) of the software and have an optional xlink:href with a URL for that release?
