Comment 1 Mathias Bynens 2012-06-15 06:44:04 UTC 
The heading for this section says “2.5.4.3 Floating-point numbers”, but in the rest of the document “floating point” (without a hyphen) is used.

Either `s/floating point/floating-point/g` or `s/floating-point/floating point/g` would improve consistency.

It's not about consistency, it's about grammatical correctness. Fixed. :-)
