In my experience it has helped reduce confusion, I dont see how it could possibly make it worse, unless you count the confusion as developers begin to realise how the web evolves as 'worse', I dont. As said, browser vendors are have no governing body that force them to implement exact specifications at exact times, I dont see how putting a version number on html and pretending that they do is anything but confusing.
