I'm pleased with this decision, but I noticed a problem: The document cited as defining the arithmetic functions ([IBMSDA]) does not exist. Or at least the URL given in the document (
http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/double/decarith.html ) does not work. I suspect that this is the result of a global search and replace operation, changing decimal to double. I suggest that this reference be replaced with IEEE 754, which defines binary floating point arithmetic and is cited by XML Schema for that purpose. ------- end of forwarded message -------
