Assembly Resolver, Side by Side, Versioning

I have read that you can specify only the major/minor numbers (plus token and
culture) to reference a DLL installed in the GAC, and that the resolver will
"upselect" to the dll with the latest build and revision number. Is this
true?

However, when I add references in the compilation section of the web.config
of an ASP.NET app, it can not find the DLL in the GAC unless I give it the
build and revision number. I would rather not do this and just reference the
major and minor for configuration management reasons. What is up here? Is
this becausee the compiler needs the fully qualified path?

Thanks.
