Pete, thanks for your review. Fred, thanks for updating the text. I entered a DISCUSS ballot to chat about Section 6.1.

Just using the digit as you had in your second message is perfectly fine.

(I could say "incorrect", but the issue is that it is in fact making a correct decision in what could be argued to be the wrong context). I'll see what I can do with this, but I'm going to have to ask you to look at the diff and see whether you agree with the change.
