Description Andrew Eisenberg 2006-03-21 19:05:53 UTC
D.2.2 Lexical Mappings

This section states, "Each fragment other than timezoneFrag defines a subset of the ·lexical space· of precisionDecimal; the corresponding ·lexical mapping· is the precisionDecimal ·lexical mapping· restricted to that subset." Perhaps Decimal would be a better choice here, with its less restrictive lexical space and value space.

Comment 1 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2006-09-01 22:40:39 UTC
Thank you for the comment.  You are right, decimal would be better
here than precision decimal.  We are uncertain whether this was a
momentary lapse in judgment or a global search and replace gone
wrong.  Either way, it has now been repaired in the master copy
of the working draft.
