I wouldn't mind if it was 15 digits with a name of "common integer" or something, with the view that we might, in future, find a need to define a 38-digit "large integer" rule, or something like that. You know what, after all the spam, over the weekend I think I've changed my mind. I don't think there's a problem with the draft's definition of "number" as 15 digits. I thought the name was significant (in the way people would read the spec) but now I'm pretty sure it really is just paint on the bike shed. Cheers -- Matthew Kerwin
