Trailing spaces and any trailing garbage characters are ignored." This should be changed to "Leading spaces are ignored. Trailing characters after any non-digit character outside the valid range are ignored." This means that "10abc1" will be treated as "10" not as "101", for example. 40651 1 ian 2010-10-05 18:05:27 +0000 The algorithm seems unambiguous; do we really want to make the introductory sentence pedantically correct as well? It would make it harder to read, would it really help at all? 40653 2 adrianba 2010-10-05 20:28:56 +0000 Maybe just a clause pointing that these characters are defined in the algorithm below? This was reported to me from one of our reviews of the spec and was a stumbling block for the reader. 40996 3 ian 2010-10-12 07:41:56 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
