Anyone know WTF is that?

Really Old X: 3.1 .. 3.6
Monolithic X: 4.0 .. 6.9
Modular X: 1.0 (==7.0) .. onward. No, I don't know why they did that.

Not quite. 6.9 == X.org 1.0; 7.0 == Xorg 1.1.

Xorg 1.3 == Xorg 7.3 AFAICT.

That's 7.2.

$ dpkg -l xserver-xorg | grep ^ii
ii xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10 the X.Org X server
$ xdpyinfo | grep version
version number: 11.0
X.Org version: 1.4.0.90
