Description Tim Mills 2016-04-04 12:54:27 UTC 
In 9.8.4.2 The Width Modifier, it is written

"Whether or not a presentation modifier is included, a width modifier may be supplied. This indicates the number of characters or digits to be included in the representation of the value."

The text appears to distinguish digits from non-digit characters.  Is it not sufficient to say "This indicates the number of characters to be included in the representation of the value."?
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2016-04-12 13:44:41 UTC 
Yes, "or digits" adds nothing to the sense and I have deemed this editorial and fixed it.

Thanks.
