This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
This issue was originally reported by Henry Zongaro. The canonical representation of float and double must be refined because it currently maps several lexical representations into a single legal value. Specifically, the description of the canonical representation must address (1) signed exponents, and (2) trailing zeroes in the mantissa.
